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
✓
The Azure Site Recovery service does not have sufficient permissions to access the source VM or storage account.
Error code 0x80070005 indicates an access denied error, meaning the Azure Site Recovery service does not have sufficient permissions to access the source VM or storage account. Option A is wrong because the recovery point retention is set to 1440 minutes (24 hours), not 5 days. Option B is wrong because the provisioning state is Succeeded, so there is no provisioning failure. Option D is wrong because the replication frequency is set to 300 seconds, which means a 5-minute RPO, not 15 minutes.
