A is correct Updating or Upgrading the vSAN Witness Appliance The vSAN Witness Appliance can easily be maintained/patched using vSphere Update Manager in the same fashion as traditional ESXi hosts. It is not required to deploy a new vSAN Witness Appliance when updating or patching vSAN hosts. Normal upgrade mechanisms are supported on the vSAN Witness Appliance. Note: When using an OEM provided vSphere ISO for upgrading vSAN hosts it is important to remember that additional OEM specific drivers or software may be included. It is important to use only a VMware provided vSphere ISO to upgrade the vSAN Witness Appliance. https://core.vmware.com/resource/vsan-stretched-cluster-guide#sec7306-sub2
