   A company has a Vault Enterprise DR setup with a primary in region A and a DR secondary in region B. The primary is still running but the region A network is experiencing intermittent issues. The operator wants to perform a planned failover to region B with minimal downtime. What is the correct procedure?

   • ADisable DR replication on the primary with `vault write -f sys/replication/dr/primary/disable`, then promote the secondary.
   • BPromote the secondary immediately with `vault write -f sys/replication/dr/secondary/promote` without demoting the primary.
   • CDemote the primary with `vault write -f sys/replication/dr/primary/demote`, wait for the secondary to catch up, then promote the secondary with `vault write -f sys/replication/dr/secondary/promote`.
   • DRun `vault write sys/replication/dr/secondary/update-primary` on the secondary to point it to itself, then promote it.

The DR secondary in region B has been promoted to primary. What must the operator do to restore the DR setup for future failover?

   • AEnable DR replication on the new primary, generate a new secondary token, and configure a new DR secondary in region A.

   • A`last_wal` field, which shows the last WAL index written to the primary.
   • B`mode` field, which shows `primary` when the cluster is the primary.
   • C`secondaries` array, which lists the cluster IDs of all connected DR secondaries.
   • D`merkle_root` field, which shows the Merkle root of the primary's data.
