Correct answer & explanation
✓
ESXi version
A vLCM cluster image consists of an ESXi base image (ESXi version) and an optional vendor add-on. Firmware and drivers are typically included in the vendor add-on, not as a separate component. vCenter Server version and baseline groups are not part of the cluster image. Therefore, the correct answers are B (ESXi version) and C (Vendor add-on).
