e

Diskpart

C. the

E. the

F. the

G. the

H. the

Optimize-VHD

cmdlet

Explanation:

The Optimize-VHD cmdlet optimizes the allocation of

space in or more virtual hard disk files, except for fixed virtual hard disks. The Compact operation is used to optimize the files. This operation reclaims unused blocks as well as rearranges the blocks to be more efficiently packed, which reduces the siz

e of a virtual hard disk file.
