A VM was deleted by mistake today at 11:05 a.m. Below are the backups currently available for the VM: Crash-consistent restore is acceptable. Which of the following backups should be chosen?

The snapshot taken today at 11:00 provides the most recent state of the VM just 5 minutes before its accidental deletion, minimizing data loss and meeting the crash-consistent restore requirement.

A full backup from three days ago is significantly older and would lead to a substantial loss of data and configuration changes made since that time.

An incremental backup alone cannot be restored; it requires a preceding full backup. Even if combined, it would only restore the VM to the state at 00:00 today, which is older than the 11:00 snapshot.

A synthetic-full from yesterday at 12:00 is too old, as it would cause data loss from yesterday afternoon and all of today up until 11:00.
