The correct answer is B. Perform a final synchronization task.. A final synchronization in VMware Converter captures all data changes made after the initial conversion run, minimizing the delta between source and destination before shutdown.

Why each option
A final synchronization in VMware Converter captures all data changes made after the initial conversion run, minimizing the delta between source and destination before shutdown.
Uninstalling production applications before migration is not recommended because it alters the source server's state and could break the intended workload on the destination VM.
Performing a final synchronization task immediately before powering down the source server ensures that any writes made since the initial conversion are replicated to the destination VM, producing a consistent and up-to-date copy. This step is explicitly recommended by VMware Converter to reduce data divergence and avoid the need for post-migration reconciliation.
Removing the server from Active Directory before migration would disrupt domain trust relationships and is not part of the Converter P2V workflow.
Removing the server from the network before the final sync would prevent Converter from completing the synchronization task it needs to transfer remaining data changes.
Concept tested: VMware Converter final sync before P2V shutdown
