    I had to think about this one, also questioned the answers given

    If the server was a phsycial it has a vendor assigned mac address. Vmware operates inside a specific mac address range being The MAC address range is 00:50:56:00:00:00-00:50:56:3F:FF:FF.

    To apply a non vmware MAC address you need to edit the VMs .vmx
    https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/507
    3.Add a new static MAC address line to the configuration file with help of the following entries:

    ethernetN.address = “00:50:56:XX:YY:ZZ”
    ethernetN.addressType = “static”

    To change the MAC address to a non-vmware address (in the case of a P2V where software on the PC is licensed against the original MAC address) add these lines to the .vmx:

    ethernetN.addressType = “static”
    ethernetN.address = “

    Therfore the only answers that marry up are A and B
