    • A.

      RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBB LIBA) DEV(TAP01)

    • B.

      RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBA LIBB) DEV(TAP01) DFRID(ABC)

    • C.

      RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBA LIBB) DEV(TAP01) DFRID(ABC) RMVDFRID DFRID(ABC)

    • D.

      RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBA LIBB) DEV(TAP01) DFRID(ABC) RSTDFROBJ DFRID(ABC)

    Correct Answer
    D. RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBA LIBB) DEV(TAP01) DFRID(ABC) RSTDFROBJ DFRID(ABC)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "RSTLIB SAVLIB(LIBA LIBB) DEV(TAP01) DFRID(ABC) RSTDFROBJ DFRID(ABC)". This command will complete the restore operation in one pass through the tape because it specifies both libraries to be restored, LIBA and LIBB, and includes the DFRID parameter with the value of ABC.
