A Horizon administrator has been tasked to deploy an agentless anti-malware solution for their virtual desktops. What VMware solution is required to achieve the requirement?
NSX is an optional component of the VMware Tools which are already installed on any virtual desktop, so there is no other agent needed = I would call this "agentless", matching the question..so answer A: VMware NSX-T with Guest Introspection
As per chat GPT:
No, VMware NSX-T with guest introspection requires an agent to be installed on each guest operating system to provide advanced threat prevention and detection capabilities. The Guest Introspection service is a lightweight virtual machine that is installed on each guest operating system and acts as a bridge between the virtual network and antivirus/security software running on the host system. This enables the virtual network to detect and prevent malicious traffic without having to install any additional software onto the virtual machines themselves.

Look at the first key benefit
Improve consolidation ratios and performance
by eliminating antivirus agents from guest
virtual machines.
The Guest Introspection platform has been included in NSX Data Center for vSphere for several years, mostly as a replacement for the VMware vShield Endpoint product and providing customers the ability to plug in their VMware certified partner solutions to allow agent-less anti-virus and anti-malware protections for a variety of data center workloads.

vShield Endpoint plugs directly into vSphere and consists of
three components:
• Hardened secure virtual appliances, delivered by VMware partners
• Thin agent for virtual machines to offload security events
(included in VMware Tools)
