Which is the simplest baseline group combination an administrator could create to upgrade hosts,
VMware tools, and virtual machine hardware to the latest versions using Update Manager?

During an upgrade, the ESXi 5.x installer finds an existing version of ESXi and a VMFS3 volume.
No virtual machines exist on the host or VMFS3 volume. The requirement is to upgrade to
VMFS5.
Which option should be chosen to meet this requirement?
