Explanation

Backup and Restore (option B) is the dedicated Windows Control Panel utility designed specifically for both creating and restoring backup files, making it the correct tool for this task. Option A (Disk Management in MMC) is used for managing disk partitions, volumes, and drive letters - not backups. Option C (Device Manager) handles hardware drivers and device configuration, not file recovery. Option D is a distractor because simply "extracting" a file implies a compressed archive (like a ZIP), which is not the same as a proper system or file backup restoration process.

Memory tip: Think "Backup → Restore" - the utility is literally named for both actions. If the question mentions restoring a backup, look for the tool with "Backup" in its name.
