Your first mistake is not to mention what you're using. If you have sqlite databases, each database can be moved to wherever you want if the application that uses them is properly written.
Database systems like MySql work different and it depends on the table types; I don't know if you can move a few; maybe with symlinks? And maybe you can use partitioning.
To move all databases to a bigger disk, check where the startup scripts indicate that the databases are located and take it from there.

But then seeing as this is a test of their knowledge, it's quite the non starter, huh?

As you were asked before, SPELL OUT YOUR WORDS.
And the answer is "maybe"....since you don't provide any details, that's the best answer anyone can give you.
