For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Go to Administration > Licensing to add the license keys and assign them to vCenter Server, ESXi hosts, and clusters.
Why this is correct
The Licensing section under Administration is the dedicated location for managing product licenses in vSphere 9.0.

Right-click the vCenter Server root object and select Edit Settings > Licensing.
Why it's wrong here
License assignment is not performed through the vCenter root object settings menu.
