i agree with A, E
AC – You can technically put a host into maintenance mode without evacuating the data

CE is probably the best answer.
You’re going to put the host in maint mode, selecting the evac option. Resyncs will run, evac will complete, then the host will enter maint mode. Make sure everything is healthy, then remove the host from the cluster.
