Which statement is true about the duplicate database in this scenario?

Examine the following scenario:
The target database instance is running. The most recent backup available for the target database was taken two days ago. Log files switches have occurred in last two days. The target database is duplicated on the same host, using the Recovery Manager (RMAN) duplicate command as follows:
RMAN> RUN
{
ALLOCATE AUXILIARY CHANNEL aux 1 DEVICE TYPE DISK;
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO auxdb;
}

B.

C.

For backup-based duplication of databases in ARCHIVELOG mode, RMAN recovers by default up to the last archived redo log generated at the time the command was executed, or until a time specified with a SET UNTIL clause.

During duplication, RMAN must perform incomplete recovery because the online redo logs in the target are not backed up and cannot be applied to the duplicate database. The farthest that RMAN can go in recovery of the duplicate database is the most recent redo log archived by the target database.
