d-A full backup is often considered the most secure, reliable method of copying data. A few additional advantages include: Restore and recovery times are shorter because complete data is always readily available. All data is backed up at once, making version control easy to manage. Backup files are easier to locate as they are all kept on the same storage medium.

My opinion: B 'sounds good' but is too vague to be the correct answer. D is correct.

Ahh it's because backups are great way to counter ransomware. You can revert to the previous system and not pay any ransom
