Q

An administrator receives an escalation to investigate a low disk space alarm on a datastore. The
administrator discovers that a snapshot has been accidentally taken on a production, write-intensive database
server. The snapshot has grown to nearly 1 TB in size in less than an hour and continues growing every
second.

long stun times.
C. ESXi will merge the snapshot delta disk into the base disk; the virtual machine will be briefly stunned.
