  1. CORRECT ANSWER: D

    Since the wording do not explicitly ask for the new database to reside on a different server, option D would be a better option, with less effort too.

    • From an existing database (structure as well as data)
    You can create a new template that has both the structural information and physical data files of an existing database. Databases created using such a template are identical to the source database. User-defined schemas and their data will be part of the created template. The source database must be local. Select this option when you want a template from which you can create an exact replica of the source database.

    1. What about data? you only create a database using the template with no data…

      I think A is the only correct answer
