Selected Answer: B
Periodically restoring VM images obtained from the cloud provider on-site allows the organization to validate the integrity of the backup copies and ensure that they can be successfully restored in case of a disaster. This process helps verify that the backup and recovery strategy is effective and that the organization can rely on the cloud provider's services for disaster recovery purposes. While regular backups to a cloud service provider offer an essential component of a disaster recovery strategy, periodic on-site restoration provides a critical validation step to confirm that the backup copies are usable and that the organization can recover its VMs as needed. This practice ensures readiness for disaster scenarios and helps mitigate the risk of data loss or downtime.

because even if you have the DRP, you need to confirm that It will not disappoint you when you need it, so you need to periodically restoring the VM images (in layman's language)
