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 the active uplinks for VM Network to vmnic1 only.
Why it's wrong here
This would move the problem to vmnic1 and still leave a single point of failure.
- ✗
Increase the MTU on vSwitch0 to 9000.
Why it's wrong here
Jumbo frames would not resolve uplink saturation.
- ✓
Configure load-based teaming on vSwitch0 for the VM Network portgroup.
Why this is correct
Load-based teaming would distribute traffic across both uplinks, reducing saturation.
- ✗
Move the VM Network to vSwitch1.
Why it's wrong here
vSwitch1 is dedicated to storage; moving the VM Network would mix traffic.
