You need to recommend a solution for the application server. The solution must meet the technical requirements. What should you create?
The correct answer is D. A separate protection group for each application server. In System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM), protection groups define backup schedules, retention, and recovery settings. Creating one protection group per application server allows granular, independent configuration for each server.

Why each option
In System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM), protection groups define backup schedules, retention, and recovery settings. Creating one protection group per application server allows granular, independent configuration for each server.
A protection group containing all Hyper-V hosts targets host-level protection rather than individual application servers, preventing granular per-server recovery configurations.
Grouping by application owner combines multiple servers into a shared policy, which does not satisfy requirements for independent recovery settings per server.
A single protection group for all application servers forces every server to share the same backup schedule and retention policy, eliminating per-server configurability.
A separate protection group per application server lets administrators configure distinct recovery point objectives, schedules, and retention policies for each server independently. This meets technical requirements where individual application servers may have different backup windows or SLAs. DPM enforces these settings at the protection group level, so isolation per server is required for per-server control.
