I think the key here is the word “function”. I would say the correct answer is A.
The software itself does not consolidate infrastructure resources, it compiles the information and provides a consolidated VIEW.
The ISM v2 book states:
The key function of the unified management software is to automate the
creation of cloud services. It enables administrators to define service attributes
such as CPU power, memory, network bandwidth, storage capacity, name and
description of applications and platform software, resource location, and backup
policy.

Page 28 Module 13 cloud computing “Unified management software interacts with all standalone physical and virtual infrastructure management software. It collects information on the existing physical and virtual infrastructure configurations, connectivity, and utilization. It compiles this information, and provides a consolidated view of infrastructure resources scattered across one or more data centers. It allows an administrator to monitor performance, capacity, and availability of physical and virtual resources centrally. “
