Answer options

• A. Identifies identical data patterns based on the Hash ID
• B. Inline process using the same data reduction module as the Adaptive Compression Engine
• C. Stores and manages pointers between front-end devices and a single instance of data stored on disk
• D. Representation of data in a deduplication relationship

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Deduplication Management Object (DMO) is responsible for managing the pointers that connect front-end devices to unique data instances on disk, ensuring efficient storage. Option A is incorrect as it refers to identifying data patterns rather than managing data instances. Option B is not correct since it describes an inline process rather than the specific management of pointers. Option D, while related to deduplication, does not accurately describe the primary function of the DMO.
