Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Take a snapshot of the VM
The correct order is: first power on the VM (A) to ensure it is running, then take a snapshot (B) to capture the current state, then perform changes on the running VM (E), then power off the VM (C) before reverting, and finally revert to the snapshot (D) to restore the VM to the captured state. This sequence ensures that the snapshot is taken before changes, and the revert happens after changes are made and the VM is powered off.
