Sorry but network latency is not really an integration issue. I think that the correct answer is probably Network zoning. A NAC is designed to keep systems which are not up to date with the security policies off your operational VLAN. Ideally, the machines would be quarantined into a safe VLAN that permits updates. These are different network security zones. Because of how a NAC works with the switches and adjust VLANs, I could see the 802.1x supplicant compatibility. Still that question appears to deal with the system health verifier and less with integration so I would stick with E.

D is correct. NAC uses DHCP to connect devices to either the production or quarantine network. DHCP is time sensitive.
