Explanation

Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is the supported mechanism for replicating Azure Virtual Desktop session host VMs to a secondary region for disaster recovery. Before configuring any replication, you must first create a Recovery Services vault in the target region (US West), as ASR uses the vault to store replication metadata, recovery points, and failover configuration. All subsequent steps - enabling replication, configuring policies, and test failovers - depend on this vault existing first. Creating a VM snapshot (B) is a point-in-time backup, not a failover solution. GRS storage (C) addresses profile/data storage redundancy, not compute failover. Creating a new host pool (D) is a later step that comes after replication is configured.
