Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
An image includes ESXi version, firmware/driver version, and additional components.
Options A and D are correct. Image-based management in vLCM uses a single image per cluster, which includes ESXi version, firmware/driver versions, and additional components (A). Offline bundles can be imported to create custom images (D). Option B is incorrect because you can use custom images, not only vendor-specific ones. Option C is incorrect because there is no limit of 10 hosts; a single image applies to all hosts in the cluster. Option E is incorrect because only one image can be assigned per cluster.
