An administrator is attempting to restore a number of files in a directory within the Operating System of a virtual machine. How can the administrator restore the files from a previous backup?

Choices A and D are textually identical and both incorrect - the vSphere Client does not expose a native File Level Restore option from the backup selection view; FLR must be initiated from within the guest.

The VMware Data Protection FLR workflow requires the VM's guest OS to run a web browser and connect to the VDP appliance's FLR interface, which mounts the backup as a virtual disk accessible only to that guest session. This guest-initiated connection is the only supported method for restoring individual files without performing a full VM restore.

Connecting to the FLR tool from the VDP appliance directly is incorrect - the FLR session must be launched from a browser running inside the target virtual machine, not from the appliance management console.

Identical to choice A and incorrect for the same reason - the vSphere inventory interface does not provide a File Level Restore action directly from a selected backup job.
