Refer to the exhibit. An administrator deletes the Service 1.5 snapshot. What is the result of this action?

When an intermediate snapshot (Service 1.5) is deleted, its delta disk data is merged into its parent snapshot (Service 1). The snapshot chain is restructured so that Service 2 now directly points to Service 1 as its parent. The virtual machine itself continues to run from its current state (Service 2), and the Service 2 snapshot is not affected by the deletion of its now-merged parent.

Deleting an intermediate snapshot like Service 1.5 does not cause the VM to revert to an earlier state like Service 1, nor does it delete subsequent snapshots like Service 2.

Deleting an intermediate snapshot (Service 1.5) does not revert the VM to Service 2, as Service 2 is a child of Service 1.5, and it does not delete the parent snapshot, Service 1.

Deleting a single, intermediate snapshot does not cause the deletion of all other snapshots in the chain; only the specific snapshot's data is merged into its parent.
