Selected Answer: C

Proxy is considered as bottleneck, if automatic selection is well selected (as per default) new proxies will help the backup to be done quicker

maybe B, adding a new backup proxy doesn't help if we still use only one backup job

But if you've got multiple Proxy's, and you've selected automatic selection for the proxy, it might make a difference if you've got only one job, but a per VM setting?
