Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Snapshots that are part of an active recovery operation cannot be deleted until the process is completed or manually canceled.
Option A (Active recovery in progress) is correct:
Nutanix does not allow deletion of snapshots ifthey are being used in an ongoing recovery process.
The administrator shouldverify whether the snapshot is currently part of a Protection Domain or Disaster Recovery (DR) plan.
Option B (Ransomware encryption) is incorrect:
Nutanix snapshots are immutable by defaultandcannot be encrypted by external threats.
Option C (Approval policy denial) is incorrect:
Snapshot deletionsdo not require manual approval, unless controlled by an external workflow system.
Option D (Snapshot corruption) is incorrect:
Nutanixuses checksums to prevent corruption, so snapshots cannot besilently damaged.
