Based on the reference link the A, B and D are the right answers: - Create a backup or snapshot of the virtual machine. - Upgrade VMware Tools - Verify that the virtual machine is healthy and available, with no inaccessible virtual disks, CD-ROM or ISO images, etc. Furthermore, why just VMFS 3 and 5 listed as pre-req, what about VMFS6?
