The source and target virtual machines must be on the same vNetwork Switch.

B.
The source and target virtual machines must both be on a vNetwork Distributed Switch, but can be on any vDS in the datacenter.

Configure NetFlow Settings
NetFlow is a network analysis tool that you can use to monitor network monitoring and virtual machine traffic.
NetFlow is available on vSphere distributed switch version 5.0.0 and later.

With an IP address to the vSphere distributed switch, the NetFlow collector can interact with the vSphere distributed switch as a single switch, rather than interacting with a separate, unrelated switch for each associated host.
