Keep the following recommendations in mind for all bond scenarios to prevent undesired behavior and maintain NIC compatibility: Don’t mix NIC models from different vendors in the same bond. Don’t mix NICs of different speeds in the same bond.

This dump in not valid for NCP 5.15 exam. Very few questions appeared from this dump in exam and many are not from this! So don't relay only on this dump for clearing the exam. Hope Examtopic will release the valid dump for NCP 5.15

Both c&d are correct… see This scenario uses two physical upstream switches, and each 10 GbE interface in the bond plugs into a separate physical switch for high availability. In the bond, only one physical interface is active when using the default active-backup load balancing mode. Nutanix recommends using active-backup because it’s easy to configure, works immediately after install, and requires no upstream switch configuration. See the Load Balancing in Bond Interfaces section for more information and alternate configurations.

Should be d, implementing complex network bonding after installation is unwise, use the default and test this first before using other bond types.

C is the best option. "Do not include connected 1 Gb interfaces in the same bond or bridge as the 10 Gb interfaces. Leave the 1 Gb interfaces unplugged, or create a separate bond and bridge for the connected 1 Gb interfaces as outlined in the AHV Networking guide. " https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=BP-2029_AHV:top_ahv_networking_best_practices_checklist.html

Agreed, C. Usage of LACP is circumstantial, but links within a bond should always be the same speeds.
