A + D (a Replication Appliance is not a required element whereas a PSC is ALWAYS required, and question does not ask about replication but states "single cluster" )

vCenter and PSC. You shouldn’t encrypt them using VM Encryption because they would then need to boot up to get their encryption key to boot up. https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2017/10/key-manager-concepts-toplogy-basics-vm-vsan-encryption.html

PSC, vCenter and Replication appliance should not be encrypted. As the system is a single cluster the possible answer can be PSC and vCenter

Answer BD is correct. VMware Best Practices, don't encrypt vCenter Server Appliances. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.security.doc/GUID-B3DA9865-A28F-4EFD-ACF4-CBC8813ED110.html

He obviously spent $250 just to answer this one question and check for us, what a good guy (100% KIDDING!) It's probably A & B but he cannot actually prove it. Read McLinux' reply; a PSC is always required.

The platform services controller can be embedded or external and makes up the vCenter appliance. Therefore the PSC and vCS should NOT be encrypted.

B and D are correct because provided link states not any vCenter Server Appliance VM should be encrypted. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.security.doc/GUID-B3DA9865-A28F-4EFD-ACF4-CBC8813ED110.html
