I think the answer is C.
According to this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee706683.aspx Get-WBPolicy –> “Gets the current backup policy that is set for the computer”.

Moreover A and D are excluded since both are related to Online backup not Windows Backup.

Answer B- “Get-WBVSSBackupOption” according the same link mentioned above relates to “Gets a setting that specifies whether the backups created using the backup policy will be Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) copy backups or VSS full backups.

With Get-WBPolicy:

Schedule : {23.9.2015. 0:00:00}
BackupTargets : {D:}
VolumesToBackup : {System Reserved, Local disk (C:)}
FilesSpecsToBackup : {}
FilesSpecsToExclude : {}
ComponentsToBackup : {Host Component}
BMR : True
SystemState : True
OverwriteOldFormatVhd : True
VssBackupOptions : VssFullBackup

For trying GetWBVSSBackupOption i need policy name which i dont know 🙂

But from output of Get-WBPolicy we see: SystemState: True so i guess is C.

I mean “BMR : True”
