• B. Parent can be a snapshot copy Can only copy a detached snapshot Has an independent Retention Policy from the parent

• D. Parent cannot be a snapshot copy Can copy an attached or detached snapshot Inherits the parent Snapshot Retention Policy

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is correct because a LUN Snapshot Copy cannot take a snapshot of another snapshot and can copy both attached and detached snapshots, inheriting the retention policy from the parent. The other options are incorrect as they either allow the parent to be a snapshot copy or misrepresent the ability to copy attached snapshots.
