Always enable AES encryption when performing fabric backup configuration exports. Doing so will assure that all the secure properties of the configuration will be successfully imported when restoring the fabric.

Answer is A. AES encryption may be optional for backup but is required for the use case of restoring a factory-fresh install to a fully working environment.

isn't A and D both correct. A is optional though. https://unofficialaciguide.com/2017/10/21/creating-a-backup-for-your-apic-cluster/

D states that "enabled JSON format export" but it also is an option, since you can enable XML format to export as well. About A, yes AES is optional BUT if you dont enable it, the fabric wont export credentials like VMM or service pack for managed L4-L7 Services.
