Explanation
Explanation: The transaction log records all changes made to the database and stores enough information to allow any changes to be undone (rolled back) or redone (rolled forward) in the event of a system failure or if it is told to do so by the application (in the case of a rollback command). Physically, the transaction log is a set of files associated with a database at the time the database is created or altered. Modules that perform database updates write log entries that exactly describe the hanges made. Each log entry is labeled with a log sequence number (LSN) that is guaranteed to be unique. All log entries that are part of the same transaction are linked together so that all parts of a transaction can be easily located for both undo activities (as with a rollback) and redo activities (during system recovery). Incorrect answers: A: Replacing the failed disk is not recovering data. B: Since only the disk with the data files failed, you do not need to restore the full database backup. D: It is not necessary to restore the required transaction logs in sequence since all log entries that are part of the same transaction are linked together.
