While it is true that SPAN source ports can be monitored in multiple SPAN sessions on many Cisco platforms, that is not always possible on every platform or configuration. Some switches, like the Nexus 5000 series, may limit how many SPAN sessions a single source port can belong to, especially depending on the hardware and software version.

For the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch, the key characteristics to keep in mind for this scenario are:
The types of interfaces that can be used as SPAN source ports (Ethernet, FC, vFC, port channel, SAN port channel).
The requirement that a SPAN source port cannot also be a destination SPAN port, to avoid conflicts and make sure traffic is captured properly.
Because of these points, options B and C are the most broadly applicable and important for configuring SPAN on Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches.

Exactly. The link above is for 9K. The SPAN config guide for 5K specifically says "cannot be monitored in multiple sessions" and the question says "Nexus 5000"

Each SPAN session on a Nexus switch needs exclusive use of its configured source interfaces.
