c ist correct. The Typeo vXd instead of vHd is confusing: Shared VHDX Requirements: The disk type must be the VHDX type. VHD disks are not supported So you need to convert first

The given answer is correct. You need to make a "VHD Set" so the VMs can share access to a virtual disk for applications like SQL. Since you have a ".vhd" file now, you need to convert it to a ".vhds" file. So, yes, Convert-VHD.

The answer is A - the Optimize-VHDSet allows for the allocation of space used by VHD files.

To add another link ;) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/hyper-v/convert-vhd?view=win10-ps The Convert-VHD cmdlet converts a virtual hard disk file by copying the data from a source virtual hard disk file to a new virtual hard disk file of a specified format and version type. The format is determined by the file name extension of the specified files, either .vhdx or .vhd.
