B
NAS supports more files.
C
Block data transmission is optimized.
D
File sharing is optimized.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -NAS is a single storage device that serves files over Ethernet and is relatively inexpensive and easy to set up, while a SAN is a tightly coupled network of multiple devices that is more expensive and complex to set up and manage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both SAN and NAS systems are network-based storage solutions aimed at providing multiple users 24/7 access to data on-premises and remotely. Here are some differences between the two approaches. Type of network: NAS is connected to devices using a LAN or Ethernet network, while a SAN runs on high-speed Fibre channel.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the number of users increases, a large increase in traffic over the LAN may slow performance. Certain uses–such as video editing–may exacerbate performance issues because of large files sizes.
