Correct answer: Policy2 and Policy4 only.
Why this is the answer
The ability to automatically move recovery points to the vault-archive tier depends on the backup policy's recovery point retention settings. Policies that retain recovery points for 180 days or more are eligible for automatic tiering to the archive tier. Policy2 retains daily recovery points for 365 days, which exceeds the 180-day minimum, making it eligible. Policy4 retains weekly recovery points for 7 years (2555 days), also exceeding the 180-day minimum, making it eligible. Policy1 retains daily recovery points for only 30 days, which is less than 180 days, so it's not eligible. Policy3 retains daily recovery points for 90 days, which is also less than 180 days, so it's not eligible. Therefore, only Policy2 and Policy4 support automatic tiering to the vault-archive tier.
