Which action does the storage administrator take to meet this requirement?
- A . Restore the snapshot to a new test volume
- B . Create a thin clone of the database volume and map it to the test host
- C . Create a new snapshot policy for the test volume
- D . Create a snapshot of the database volume and map it to the test host
