B Correct answer
Explanation

When a replication site contains subsets of another site's data, this is called snapshot replication (also known as materialized view replication). A snapshot site stores and maintains copies of data from a master site, allowing for read-only access and periodic refresh. This is different from master-site replication (option A) which maintains full copies. Option C is incorrect because the question specifically describes a subset scenario, which characterizes snapshot sites, not a combination of both types.
