The correct answer is D. From the VM2 blade, click Disaster recovery, click Replication settings, and then select RSV2 as the Recovery Services vault.

Explanation:

Recovery Services vaults are used to backup and restore virtual machines, as well as provide disaster recovery for virtual machines. When you want to use a different Recovery Services vault to protect a virtual machine, you need to follow these steps:

Open the VM2 blade in the Azure portal.
Click Disaster recovery in the left-hand menu.
Click Replication settings in the top menu.
Select the new Recovery Services vault (in this case, RSV2) from the list of available vaults.
Follow the prompts to complete the configuration.

Note that there is no need to stop the backup of VM2 in RSV1 or export the backup job from RSV1. These actions are unrelated to configuring disaster recovery in RSV2.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. From the VM2 blade, click Disaster recovery, click Replication settings, and then select RSV2 as the Recovery Services vault.
