A.

Restore the system to an earlier time

B.

Update the application packages

C.

Backup deleted users file

D.

Recover the system disk from an image file

Correct answer is D

When performing computer recovery operations after a system crash, the startup disk is used to recover the system disk from an image file.

A startup disk typically contains essential system files and tools that are required to boot the computer and initiate recovery procedures. One common approach to recovery after a system crash is to use an image of the system disk taken at a stable and functional state. This image is often referred to as a "system image" or "backup image." By using the startup disk and this image, you can restore the entire system to a previous state, which can include the operating system, applications, and data. This process helps in recovering from crashes and issues that render the system inoperable.
