Explanation

Active (D) is the valid synchronous replication session state on Dell Unity XT because it indicates the session is healthy and replicating data synchronously to the remote system in real time, acknowledging writes only after both sites confirm the data is written.

Not Active (A) is not a defined session state in the Dell Unity XT replication model - it's a plausible-sounding phrase but not part of the actual state vocabulary. Consistent (B) is a term associated with asynchronous replication (where a "consistent" snapshot exists on the destination), not synchronous. Committed (C) sounds transactional but is not a recognized Unity XT replication session state - it conflates database commit semantics with storage replication terminology.

Memory tip: Think "sync = simultaneous = currently Active." If synchronous replication is doing its job, the session must be in an Active state - anything else (paused, failed, etc.) would mean sync isn't happening.
