      D would require HA to be configured. Given that HA is not specified in the question, we can’t assume it is.

      Without HA, vCenter would not be rebooted and therefore would remain offline. VM’s would continue to run on the unaffected host.

    Other Exam sites list this question as HA and DRS cluster , and thats a no brainer , VCenter VM will be restarted due to HA , and DRS will eventually load balance Hosts if Fully automated .

    In This question as it read ONLY DRS ( and yes you “can” enable on DRS if want would want to for example run as many DEV VMs are you can possible fit into given amount of Hosts )

    So Because only DRS is enabled , and not HA, B is the clear answer.
