Selected Answer: A

To ensure that the VMs in the DB group run on the hosts in the PROD11 group but can run on hosts in the PROD55 group if all the hosts in PROD11 go offline, the administrator should create a rule that sets a preference rather than a strict requirement. This way, the VMs will prefer the PROD11 hosts but can fall back to the PROD55 hosts if necessary. The correct rule to create is: A. A preferential rule between the DB group and the PROD11 group

Should be A. Just keep in mind that using "should" is a safer setting as it allows the VMs to run on a different host for HA and maintenance reasons. Ref: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.resmgmt.doc/GUID-0591F865-91B5-4311-ABA6-84FBA5AAFB59.html
