Answer: D

Explanation:

.vmsn (VMware Snapshot State File): This file stores the state of a virtual machine’s memory and running processes when a snapshot is taken. The presence of a .vmsn file indicates that the VM has an active snapshot. Snapshots essentially "freeze" the virtual disk (.vmdk) configuration, preventing changes like disk expansion.
