Explanation:
When a file is modified or created, the file system sets the archive bit to 1. A differential backup process backs
up the files that have been modified since the last full backup, but does not change the archive bit value.
Incorrect Answers:
B: A differential backup process does not change the archive bit value.
C: Because a differential backup process backs up the files that have been modified since the last full backup,

D: Because a differential backup process backs up the files that have been modified since the last full backup,
the archive bit at the start of the process would be set to 1.
