Answer: D

Explanation:

For Hyper-V environments where VMs are stored on local storage, the On-host backup proxy should be used. This type of proxy processes jobs directly on the host where the Hyper-V role is enabled, allowing it to interact directly with the local VM storage. It is suitable for infrastructures with multiple Hyper-V servers storing VMs locally.
