I feel like B is the safest bet. 15 minutes is standard.

D could be a factor too. Witness VM is crucial for two nodes.

But isn’t it about the RPO? B feels more accurate.

I’m leaning towards A. Three nodes seem necessary for Nearsync.

I think the answer is B. Two nodes can't do 5 minutes.

Not sure about C, I thought hybrid could do Nearsync too.

C) Wait, Nearsync isn't for hybrid? That's surprising!

I remember reading that a Witness VM is needed for two-node clusters to enable certain features. Maybe that's what's causing the problem here?

I practiced a similar question about replication settings, and I think Nearsync might not work with hybrid clusters. But I can't recall the specifics.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the RPO for a two-node cluster might be limited to 15 minutes. That could explain the issue.

I think I remember something about the minimum number of nodes for Nearsync. Was it three nodes? That might be the reason here.
