Which action must be completed on the HMC when a partition is in a Recovery state?
The correct answer is B. Select Recover Partition Data for the managed system. When an LPAR appears in a Recovery state on the HMC, the administrator must use the Recover Partition Data action scoped to the managed system to restore the partition profile and configuration data.

Why each option
When an LPAR appears in a Recovery state on the HMC, the administrator must use the Recover Partition Data action scoped to the managed system to restore the partition profile and configuration data.
'Configuration and Restore partition data' is not a valid HMC menu path for addressing a Recovery state; the correct scope is the managed system, not an individual partition configuration menu.
Selecting 'Recover Partition Data' for the managed system instructs the HMC to rebuild the LPAR's configuration from the redundant profile data stored on the managed system. This action restores the partition definition and clears the Recovery state, returning the LPAR to a manageable condition.
'Initialize Partition' would wipe partition settings rather than recover them, which is destructive and not appropriate for a Recovery state.
'Configuration and Rebuild Managed System' addresses managed system-level data loss scenarios and is not the targeted action for a single LPAR in Recovery state.
