What should you do?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server that hosts a transactional database and
a reporting database. The transactional database is updated through a web application and
is operational throughout the day. The reporting database is only updated from the
transactional database.
The recovery model and backup schedule are configured as shown in the following table:

At 14:00 hours, you discover that pages 71, 520, and 713 on one of the database files are
corrupted on the reporting database.
You also need to ensure that data loss is minimal.

What should you do?

A.
Perform a partial restore.

B.
Restore the latest full backup, and restore the latest differential backup. Then, restore
each log backup taken before the time of failure from the most recent differential backup.

C.
Restore the latest full backup.

D.
Restore the latest full backup, and restore the latest differential backup. Then, restore the
latest log backup.

E.
Perform a page restore.

F.
Restore the latest full backup. Then, restore each differential backup taken before the
time of failure from the most recent full backup.

G.
Perform a point-in-time restore.

H.
Restore the latest full backup. Then, restore the latest differential backup.

Explanation:
Restores a file or filegroup in a multi-filegroup database. Note that under the simple recovery
model, the file must belong to a read-only filegroup. After a full file restore, a differential file
backup can be restored.
Page restore
Restores individual pages. Page restore is available only under the full and bulk-logged
recovery models
Piecemeal restore
Restores the database in stages, beginning with the primary filegroup and one or more
secondary filegroups. A piecemeal restore begins with a RESTORE DATABASE using the
PARTIAL option and specifying one or more secondary filegroups to be restored

The explanation is not totally clear. Under simple, a partial restore is possible. The initial restore database from full backup with partial will restore all the read write filegroups with the primary. Partial is only good for restoring read only filegroups later. However a database with readwrite and read only filegroups under simple recovery is still able to be restored partially
