Which PowerShell cmdlet option you should run first?

Answer options

• A. Dismount-VHD
• B. Mount-VHD
• C. Resize-VHD
• D. Convert-VHD

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Convert-VHD, because this cmdlet allows for the conversion of virtual hard disks and can be used to shrink their size. The other options, such as Dismount-VHD and Mount-VHD, are used for managing the state of the VHD but do not directly affect its size. Resize-VHD is used to increase or decrease the size of the VHD but cannot be run without first converting it.
