When connecting Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches to the VMware vCenter Server, which item
must be configured before installing the extension keys?
A.
configure vPC
B.
configure DirectPath I/O support in vCenter
C.
configure PTS on the VSM
D.
configure dynamic vNICs
Can anyone explain me why vPC is needed in this case?

I think I have the answer.

Step 2 enforces vPC.
Step 7 is about extension keys

Note: In VPC topologies, the primary VPC switch pushes the extension key pair to vCenter as well as the port-profiles. The extension key is synchronized by the primary VPC peer to the secondary VPC peer. This is later verified with the show svs connectioncommand, which reports the same extension-key on both peers. If the two Nexus 5500 were not VPC peers, then the extension key configured would be different for each switch and each switch would have to establish separate SVS connections to the vCenter.
