DRAG DROP
You are the virtualization administrator for an organization, You manage a virtual machine (VM) by using
System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager. The VM is in a running state. You plan to use the System
Preparation (Sysprep) tool to create a virtual machine template from the VM.
You need to save a copy of the VM before you run the Sysprep tool.
Which actions should you take? To answer, drag the appropriate actions to the correct locations in theanswer
area. Each action may be used once, more than once,or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between
panes or scroll to view content.

Is it really create clone?

Clone is the correct answer. The scenario requirement states “you need to save a copy of the VM before running sysprep”. A checkpoint is a snapshot of a virtual machine at a specific point in time. Furthermore, you cannot create a template from a VM that has checkpoints.

Why does it need to be shut down first?

When you create a clone of a virtual machine, the operating system is not generalized. This means that you cannot have a cloned virtual machine running at the same time as the original virtual machine, unless you first change the virtual network to which it is connected. However, you may clone a virtual machine for use in a test environment. In addition, you may clone a virtual machine, use Sysprep.exe to generalize the virtual machine at a later time, and then use the virtual machine to deploy additional virtual machines.
Note: System Center 2012 R2 VMM contains a new feature called Live Cloning. You can use Live Cloning to clone virtual machines without having to stop the original virtual machine. This can significantly reduce downtime while creating virtual machines.

Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V Role has a new feature namely ability to Live Exporting (Cloning) running VMs. In case you have previous version of Hyper-V (for example included in Windows Server 2012 or 2008 R2) VM needs to be in off-line state before Export ( Clone) operation.

so the question probably was meant for VMM 2012 not R2?
