What type of configuration is required for SnapVault backup between clusters in two different clustered Data ONTAP or later systems?

Explanation

In clustered Data ONTAP, SnapVault replication between two separate clusters requires a Cluster Peer relationship to be established first. Cluster peering creates a trust relationship between the two clusters, enabling inter-cluster communication and data replication. Without cluster peering, clusters cannot discover or communicate with each other for any replication operation, including SnapVault. Vserver (SVM) peering may also be required on top of cluster peering for specific SVM-scoped operations, but the foundational prerequisite is always the Cluster Peer Configuration. Options A (Vserver Peer) and B/C (non-existent constructs) are incorrect - Vserver peering alone is not sufficient and requires cluster peering as a prerequisite.
