A.
Run the Stop-VM cmdlet.

B.
Decrease the Minimum RAM.

C.
Run the Convert-VHD cmdlet.

D.
Convert diskl.vhd to a dynamically expanding disk.

Explanation:
A dynamically expanding disk, on the other hand, is a VHD, which starts small — usually at only a
few kilobytes — and expands as additional storage space is needed. It can only grow, however, to the size limit
you designate in the setup wizard.
Incorrect:
Not D: Convert-VHD
Converts the format, version type, and block size of a virtual hard disk file.

    Seconded, the answer is ‘A’.
    The disk configuration (dynamic Vs. fixed) has little impact on the snapshot size.
    However snapshotting a machine whilst it is running means a RAM dump is also saved to preserve the systems running state at that moment. That requires as much disk space as RAM being used at that time. This is avoided if the machine is shutdown first, reducing the snapshot size by a great deal.
