“As a result, Veeam Backup & Replication creates only one snapshot and transfers VM data only once. Veeam Backup & Replication retrieves VM data only while a backup or backup copy job is running. The replication job re-uses retrieved data to build VM replica restore points.”
So, this replication job seems to use only one snapshot to replicate every restore point the backup has got in repo.
Answer is C
When you replicate a VM from backup, Veeam Backup & Replication retrieves VM data as of the point in time when the backup was created. The VM replica restore point has the same timestamp as a corresponding VM backup restore point, not the time when the replica job session is run.

Source backup ran 3 times hence 3 restore points are created
