Correct answer & explanation
VNFM detects performance threshold breach
Scaling up (vertical) or scaling out (horizontal) begins with the VNFM monitoring performance metrics and detecting a threshold breach. The VNFM then notifies the NFVO of the scaling requirement. The NFVO authorizes the scaling action. The VNFM then coordinates with the VIM to allocate additional resources (scale up) or instantiate new VNF instances (scale out). Finally, the VNFM updates the VNF configuration to use the new resources or instances.
