Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

Contact Microsoft Support to recover the deleted component.
Why it's wrong here
Support can assist but is not necessary; version history is self-service.

Why it's wrong here
Environment backup/restore is not available by default; version history is the correct approach.

Recreate the component manually.
Why it's wrong here
This is inefficient and unnecessary when version history is available.
