A. B. C. D.

A.

The media type that would meet the objective of saving backups in a format that supports linear data access is LTO, which stands for Linear Tape-Open.

LTO is a magnetic tape data storage technology that provides high-capacity storage and fast data transfer rates. It uses linear data access, which means that data is written and read sequentially along the length of the tape, rather than randomly accessing specific parts of the tape.

SAN (Storage Area Network) and NAS (Network Attached Storage) are storage technologies that provide block-level and file-level access to data, respectively, but they do not use linear data access. JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) refers to a storage configuration that does not provide any data protection or redundancy and is not a media type.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. LTO.
