D and E are correct: With secure boot enabled, the boot sequence proceeds as follows. - Starting with vSphere 6.5, the ESXi bootloader contains a VMware public key. The bootloader uses this key to verify the signature of the kernel and a small subset of the system that includes a secure boot VIB verifier. - The VIB verifier verifies every VIB package that is installed on the system. At this point, the entire system boots with the root of trust in certificates that are part of the UEFI firmware. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.security.doc/GUID-5D5EE0D1-2596-43D7-95C8-0B29733191D9.html

DE Although the version of TPM is 2.0 which is supported it is not mandatory for secure boot. Having ESX 6.5 and above + UEFI are necessary components to activating secure boot of course if the hardware supports it.

Secure boot is part of the UEFI firmware standard. With secure boot enabled, a machine refuses to load any UEFI driver or app unless the operating system bootloader is cryptographically signed. Starting with vSphere 6.5, ESXi supports secure boot. So D & E.

D & E Guys look, TPM is optional for secure boot, for enabling ESXi secure boot UEFI and a ESXi 6.5 or greater is needed. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.security.doc/GUID-5D5EE0D1-2596-43D7-95C8-0B29733191D9.html . ESXi hosts can use Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) chips, which are secure cryptoprocessors that enhance host security by providing a trust assurance rooted in hardware as opposed to software. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.security.doc/GUID-10F7022C-DBE1-47A2-BD86-3840C6955057.html

D and E, but be careful because in the last exams (December 2022) option D where it says 6.5 or greater, says 7.0 or greater. The reality is that ESXi Secure Boot appeared with 6.5 but the option of the question today appears from 7.0 (be careful). 484 over 500.

Took the examen today, option D got replaced with "ESXi 7.0 or greater", which I believe would make C and E the correct ones.
