Briefly, an ESXi host generates a DEK to encrypt virtual machines and disks. The KEK is provided by a key server, and encrypts (or "wraps") the DEK. The KEK is encrypted using the AES256 algorithm and the DEK is encrypted using the XTS-AES-256 algorithm. Depending on the type of key provider, different methods are used to create and manage the DEK and KEK. So, The answer should be B and C
