An administrator configures vSphere Replication for a virtual machine and enables multiple point in time (PIT) instances under the recovery settings in the Configure
Replication wizard.
Which two statements are correct for vSphere Replication with multiple point in time instances enabled? (Choose two.)
A.
vSphere Replication retains a number of snapshot instances of the virtual machine on the target site based on the retention policy that you specify.
B.
vSphere Replication uses the virtual machine’s snapshot instances to define the target site Point in Time instance based on the retention policy that you specify.
C.
vSphere Replication does not support virtual machines with snapshots.
D.
vSphere Replication supports virtual machines with snapshots.
Explanation:
When you configure replication of a virtual machine, you can enable multiple point in time (PIT) instances in the recovery settings in the Configure Replication
wizard. vSphere Replication retains a number of snapshot instances of the virtual machine on the target site based on the retention policy that you specify. vSphere
Replication supports maximum of 24 snapshot instances. After you recover a virtual machine, you can revert it to a specific snapshot.
During replication, vSphere Replication replicates all aspects of the virtual machine to the target site, including any potential viruses and corrupted applications. If a
virtual machine suffers from a virus or corruption and you have configured vSphere Replication to keep PIT snapshots, you can recover the virtual machine and then
revert it to a snapshot of the virtual machine in its uncorrupted state.

i see that.
however here (https://docs.vmware.com/en/Site-Recovery-Manager/6.5/com.vmware.srm.admin.doc/GUID-F3C8A2E9-183E-4DFF-A7D1-43CAEE584149.html) it says “vSphere Replication does not replicate virtual machine snapshots. ”
so who knows

I think A, D
doesn’t REPLICATE snapshots, but does SUPPORT VMs with snapshots

A. and D. are correct.
https://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-27800
vSphere Replication can replicate virtual machines with snapshots. Snapshots at the source are not reproduced at the target location. vSphere Replication will recover a virtual machine at the target location, using the latest replicated data regardless of whether this data was originally stored in a regular virtual disk file or a virtual machine snapshot file at the source location.
