The correct answer is C. Add objects by tag combination using tags Dev and Backup, and remove the SATA (0:3) disk. Use a dynamic Protection Group based on VM tags and then exclude the scratch disk by its SATA ID.

Explanation
Use a dynamic Protection Group based on VM tags and then exclude the scratch disk by its SATA ID. In practice you'd tag those Dev VMs with, say, Dev and Backup, add a Protection Group "by tag combination" for those two tags, and in the backup job's Exclusions remove (i.e. mark) the SATA disk (0:3) so that scratch disk isn't backed up.
