A.

Based on the information provided, the virtual machine in question was deployed using a blueprint that has an archive period of 10 days, and the original lease of the virtual machine is 21 days. The owner of the virtual machine has been given 5 days to respond to the reclamation request. If the owner confirms that the virtual machine is no longer needed today, we need to calculate the time it will take to destroy the virtual machine.

First, we need to determine the remaining lease period of the virtual machine. Since the original lease was 21 days, and the owner has been given 5 days to respond to the reclamation request, the remaining lease period would be:

21 days - 5 days = 16 days

This means that there are 16 days left until the virtual machine lease expires.

Now, we need to take into account the archive period of the blueprint. The archive period is the length of time that vRealize Automation will wait before archiving and deleting a virtual machine that is no longer needed. In this case, the archive period is 10 days.

If the owner confirms that the virtual machine is no longer needed today, and there are 16 days left in the original lease, the virtual machine will be destroyed after the archive period of 10 days has elapsed. This means that the virtual machine will be destroyed:

16 days + 10 days = 26 days from today

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 31 days (the remaining lease period of 16 days plus the archive period of 10 days equals 26 days, and adding the 5 days already elapsed gives a total of 31 days until the virtual machine is destroyed).
