Correct answer is D.
What each command does:
> For troubleshooting ESXi connectivity issue, restart the management agents on your ESXi host. Restart the ESXi host daemon and vCenter Agent services using these commands:
/etc/init.d/hostd restart
/etc/init.d/vpxa restart
> Connects to a vSphere server using the User and Password parameters.
Connect-VIServer -Server 10.23.112.235 -Protocol https -User Administrator
-Password pass01
> Get a list of all registered virtual machines
vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms
> View the current status of the vCenter Server Appliance services:
service-control –status
VPXD-It is Vcenter Server Service. If this service is stopped then we will not able to connect to Vcenter Server via Vsphere client.
VPXA-It is the agent of Vcenter server. This agent collects all information from the vcenter server and pass this information to the kernal of the esx.
HOSTD- This is the agent of ESX host, here VPXA pass the information to the HOSTD and hostd pass the information to ESX server.

I think D is correct.
Vpxd is vCenter Server process. So check first this process is working correct.

vpxd is the vCenter service. vpxa runs on the ESXi hosts and allows them to communicate with vCenter.
To view the current status of the vCenter Server Appliance services, type the command: service-control –status
So D is correct.

D. service-control –status vmware-vpxd is a wrong command! Wrong format.
Try to run it. Here is a result:
root@vcenter65 [ /bin ]# service-control –status vmware-vpxd
Service-control failed. Error Exactly one operation must be specified.
KB article shows how to start the process.
A -host service. C – start all VMs. ALl wrong.
B is the only that left.
connect-viserver-server – PowerCLI command to connect to vCenter.

Dash is missed in command. Correct command is:
service-control –status vmware-vpxd
VPXD-It is Vcenter Server Service. If this service is stopped then we will not able to connect to Vcenter Server via Vsphere client.

the actual syntax is “Connect-VIServer -Server ” so B is also wrong

Ans D .
But the correct command is
root@vcenter [ ~ ]# service-control –status vmware-vpxd
Running:
vmware-vpxd
And yes if this service vmware-vpxd service is stopped then connection to vCenter via Web Client is failed.
