Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
When you need to create new virtual machines on a datastore, or when the virtual machines running on this datastore require more space, you can dynamically increase the capacity of a VMFS datastore.(200 GB)
Use one of the following methods:
-Add a new extent. An extent is a partition on a storage device, or LUN. You can add up to 32 new extents of the same storage type to an existing VMFS datastore. The spanned VMFS datastore can use any of all its extents at any time. It does not need to fill up a particular extent before using the next one.
-Grow an extent in an existing VMFS datastore, so that it fills the available adjacent capacity. Only extents with free space immediately after them are expandable. https://kb.vmware.com/kb/1017662

The good answer is "A". When you have a Datastore that was not created to use the entire LUN size, the "Capacity" shows you the LUN size and during the next step (Specify Configuration) can you set "Increase Size by" to expand the remained storage space.

Slightly confusing question, surely C is the answer?
