Answer: B

Explanation:

A thin clone is a writeable copy of a volume, which shares the same data blocks as the parent volume. This allows the administrator to provide a copy of the production database volume to the test environment without affecting the production data. It also allows to test the data without affecting the production data, and also it doesn’t require additional storage space.
