An administrator Is performing maintenance activities and discovers that a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore has a lot more used capacity than expected. The datastore contains 10 virtual machines (VMs) and, when the administrator reviews the contents of the associated datastore, discovers that five- virtual machines have a snapshot file (-delta.vmdk flies) that has not been modified In over 12 months. The administrator chei kfl the Snapshot Manager within the vSphere Client and confirms that there are no snapshots visible.

A.

Consolidate the snapshots for each VM.

B.

Inflate the disk files for each VM.

C.

Delete all snapshots for each VM.

D.

Storage vMotion each VM to another datastore.
