Correct answer & explanation
✓
Modify the active Policy in VCF Operations, navigate to Symptom Definitions, and disable or override the alert for the Dev-Test custom object group.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure an NSX Distributed Firewall rule blocking storage traffic to Dev-Test VMs.
Why it's wrong here
Blocking storage traffic via firewall would cause VM file system corruption or crashes.
- ✗
Edit the vpxd.cfg file on vCenter to filter out Dev-Test storage metrics.
Why it's wrong here
vpxd.cfg does not filter VCF Operations metric collection policies.
- ✗
Add a deny rule in the vCenter Server Global Permissions list for the Dev-Test group.
Why it's wrong here
Global permissions manage authorization and access control, not VCF Operations monitoring alert policies.
- ✓
Modify the active Policy in VCF Operations, navigate to Symptom Definitions, and disable or override the alert for the Dev-Test custom object group.
Why this is correct
Policies in VCF Operations allow overriding and disabling specific alert symptoms for targeted custom groups or object hierarchies.
