An administrator needs to protect a volume group using a protection policy that supports an RPO of 1 hour.
The environment consists of two clusters in different geographic regions. Which replication type should be used?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
Nutanix DR documentation for volume groups distinguishes replication types by RPO range. Nutanix documents Asynchronous Replication as the model for 1 hour or more RPO, while NearSync covers 1 minute to 15 minutes, and synchronous/Metro designs target near-zero or zero-RPO behavior with tighter latency expectations. Since the requirement here is 1 hour and the clusters are in different geographic regions, Asynchronous is the correct fit. That makes D the right answer.
The geography in the question is also a clue. Synchronous and Metro Availability are usually associated with low-latency links and more demanding network requirements, which are not implied by "different geographic regions." NearSync is too aggressive for a 1-hour target and is documented for much shorter RPO windows.
Nutanix's own replication taxonomy places 1 hour or more squarely in the Asynchronous category, so D is the authentic answer.
