Explanation

Meeting a 15-minute RPO requires very frequent backups or Oracle Data Guard / RMAN incremental backups with archived redo logs. A 2-hour RTO means restores must be fast, requiring local (flash-based) backup storage for recent backups. Long-term 5-year retention should be offloaded to cheaper Cloud Storage (e.g., Coldline/Nearline) to minimize cost. Option B correctly balances these requirements: flash storage on the Bare Metal server for recent, quickly restorable backups (meeting the 2-hour RTO), frequent RMAN incremental backups with archive logs to meet the 15-minute RPO, and Cloud Storage for long-term archival at low cost. The other options likely use configurations that are either too expensive, too slow to restore, or insufficient for the RPO requirement.
