   A company has a critical database volume on an E-Series array. They need to protect against both logical corruption (e.g., accidental deletion) and a complete site failure. The RPO for site failure is 15 minutes, and they need daily point-in-time restore points for logical corruption. The storage budget is limited, so they want to minimize the use of full copies. Which combination of features should the administrator implement?

   • ASynchronous mirroring to a remote array and a weekly volume copy.
   • BA snapshot group with a 30-day retention and synchronous mirroring to a remote array.
   • CDaily volume copies to a local volume and asynchronous mirroring to a remote array.
   • DAsynchronous mirroring to a remote array and a daily snapshot schedule on the local array.
