Which operation is performed while creating a VM snapshot?

A.
Create a delta file to record changes to the virtual disk since the session is activated

B.
Capture the configuration data of a VM to create an identical copy of the VM

C.
Create a journal volume to update changes to the snapshot

D.
Create a “Gold” copy of the snapshot before copying changes to the virtual disk

Explanation:
VM Snapshot
VM Snapshot captures the state and data of a running virtual machine at a specific point in time.
The VM state includes VM files, such as BIOS, network configuration, and its power state
(powered-on, powered-off, or suspended). The VM data includes all the files that make up the VM,
including virtual disks and memory. A VM Snapshot uses a separate delta file to record all the
changes to the virtual disk since the snapshot session is activated. Snapshots are useful when a
VM needs to be reverted to the previous state in the event of logical corruptions.
