Explanation

A named configuration snapshot saves the current candidate configuration to a persistent, named file on the local device that survives reboots and can be explicitly loaded later. 'Load named configuration snapshot' (B) retrieves a previously saved file rather than saving one. 'Revert to last saved configuration' (C) discards current changes. 'Save candidate configuration' (D) preserves the in-progress edit session state but does not create a durable, named backup intended for post-reboot restoration.
