In this situation, you should tell the customer:

B. Explain that background tasks such as SnapMirror throttle up in the absence of user workload.

When there is no active user workload, background tasks like SnapMirror can utilize more CPU and disk resources to complete their operations more efficiently. This can result in higher CPU and disk utilization on the SnapMirror destination system even without user operations.
