  2. B
    Data Import Wizard
  3. C
    Mass Transfer Records
  4. D
    Data Loader

Answer

The Data Export Service is the correct feature to schedule native, automated weekly data and attachment backups.
The Data Export Service (Weekly Data Export) is built into Salesforce Setup to allow administrators to schedule recurring exports of standard/custom object data and file attachments automatically.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary requirement
The requirement specifies a native, automated weekly backup of organizational data and file attachments.
Understanding administrative requirements helps determine whether an in-app service or external client utility is required.
2
Evaluate native Salesforce export options
The Data Export Service directly supports scheduling automated weekly background exports into downloadable archive files.
Other tools either perform data imports, record ownership transfers, or require manual client execution.
