A – wrong. To do Import you have to Export first. As it clearly states in description of Path parameter there: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/hyper-v/import-vm?view=win10-ps
B – correct. You can export a running one. In time of Import time of import new SID can be provided and files copied: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/deploy/export-and-import-virtual-machines#export-a-virtual-machine

The question is “Create 10 copies of VM1 on Server1 in the least amount of time possible. Which cmdlets should you use?” So thats at least 2 cmdlets.
C and D don’t seem to match with any other answer.
I guess that leaves A and B.
