Correct answer & explanation
✓
Manually migrate VMs using vMotion.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Change DRS to 'Fully Automated' mode.
Why it's wrong here
This would automate future migrations but does not resolve current imbalance immediately.
- ✓
Manually migrate VMs using vMotion.
Why this is correct
Manual vMotion moves VMs to balance resources now.
- ✗
Enable HA admission control.
Why it's wrong here
HA admission control is for availability, not resource balancing.
- ✗
Increase the DRS migration threshold.
Why it's wrong here
Changing threshold affects future recommendations, not current imbalance.
