You need to add an additional replica of VM1

You have a virtual machine named VM1 that runs on a host named Host1.
You configure VM1 to replicate to another host named Host2. Host2 is located in the same
physical location as Host1.
You need to add an additional replica of VM1. The replica will be located in a different
physical site.
What should you do?

You need to add an additional replica of VM1. The replica will be located in a different
physical site.
What should you do?

A.
From VM1 on Host2, click Extend Replication.

B.
On Host1, configure the Hyper-V settings.

C.
From VM1 on Host1, click Extend Replication.

D.
On Host2, configure the Hyper-V settings.

Once that is done, go to replica site and from Hyper-V UI manager select the VM for which
you want to extend the replication. Right click on VM and select “Replication->Extend
Replication …”. This will open Extend Replication Wizard which is similar to Enable
Replication Wizard.

NOTE: You configure a server to receive replication with Hyper-V Manager, in this situation
the replica site is assumed to be the Replica Server. Therefore you extend replication from
VM1 on Host2.

Extend Replication through UI:
Before you Extend Replication to third site, you need to establish the replication between a primary server and replica server. Once that is done, go to replica site and from Hyper-V UI manager select the VM for which you want to extend the replication. Right click on VM and select “Replication->Extend Replication …”

You can now ‘extend’ your replica copy to a third site using the ‘Extended replication’ feature. The functionality provides an added layer of protection to recover from your disaster. You can now have a replica copy within your site (eg: ClusterA->ClusterB in your primary datacenter) and extend the replication for the protected VMs from ClusterB->ClusterC (in your secondary data center).

straight away you can rule out B and C as you have to do it on the host that is the replica server (host 2)

You can then rule out D as you are configuring the VM for failover and not the host.

So it is A
