D Correct answer
Explanation

NetBackup automatically freezes tapes that have been used for catalog backups to prevent them from being overwritten with regular backup data. The catalog is critical for disaster recovery, so protecting these tapes is essential. A full tape is not frozen; it's simply marked as full and won't be used for new backups. Expired tapes can be reused, not frozen. A tape already in use would be in a different state.
