You need to ensure that you can restore individual files from VM1 by using the DPM Administrator console

Your company has a private cloud that is managed by using a System Center 2012 infrastructure.
You deploy Data Protection Manager (DPM) to a server named DPM1.
A server named Server1 has the Hyper-V server role installed and hosts a virtual machine named
VM1.
From DPM1, you perform a full backup of Server1.
You discover that you are unable to restore individual files from VM1.
You need to ensure that you can restore individual files from VM1 by using the DPM Administrator
console.
What should you do first?

What should you do first?

A.
On VM1, install Windows Server Backup.

B.
On DPM1, install the Hyper-V server role.

C.
On VM1, install the integration features.

D.
On DPM1, attach the VHD of VM1.

Explanation:
The integration features are also required but the “first” step according to the link below is to install
the Hyper-V role on the DPM server.

I very much doubt this. The emphasis of the question lies on the availability of file-level restore, where i presume the Hyper-V server-role will allow for VM-backups in general, and not specific file level recovery options from within the .VHD(X).

Anyone with clarification on this one?

Never mind, from: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff634221.aspx

“DPM supports item-level recovery (ILR), which allows you to do granular recovery of files, folders, volumes, and virtual hard disks (VHDs) from a host-level backup of Hyper-V virtual machines to a network share or a volume on a DPM protected server.
You must have the Hyper-V role enabled on the DPM server to perform item-level recoveries. During item-level recovery, DPM has to mount the VHDs of the protected virtual machines.”.

The answer is correct.
