Explanation
BP (Block Pointer) is correct because it is the metadata structure used in file system snapshots to record the physical storage location of each data block on disk. In snapshot-based file systems, the BP stores essential addressing information - such as the disk offset and size - that allows the system to locate and retrieve the exact block where data resides, enabling point-in-time recovery without duplicating the underlying data.
Since only option A is provided in this question (no distractors to evaluate), focus on understanding why BP matters: without block pointers, the snapshot has no map to the actual data, making recovery impossible.
Memory tip: Think of BP as a "bookmark" - just as a bookmark records where you stopped in a book, a Block Pointer records where a data block lives on the storage medium. "B" for Block, "P" for Position/Pointer.
