I agree that B should be the answer.

I’ll go with A as the solution is asking for automation and customised sysprep file will change the deployment behaviour.

VMware vCenter Server Network Customizations are not performed when a custom Sysprep File is used with Windows Vista or later templates (1029174) STATES:
7. Select the type of network settings (Typical or Custom) to apply to the guest operating system.
For Windows Vista and later virtual machines (Windows Vista, Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2, and Windows 7), network customizations specified in Step 7 are NOT applied to the virtual machine if its deployed with a CUSTOM sysprep answer file
To resolve this issue for Windows Vista and later guest operating systems, network settings for the virtual machine need to be specified in the answer file (sysprep.xml) .
For example, using Windows System Image Manager, custom network settings can be configured using the Microsoft-Windows-TCPIP_*_neutral template.
So B. must be the answer.

Everything you stated there points to A. If your image has an answer file then step 7 is not used as this will be defined in the .xml and in our case the .xml contains a cmd to auto assign and IP. And yes there is no use for DHCP its all in the .xml

In this question there is no use for DHCP!

It seems that sysprep is limited to older windows systems for network configurations. The Virtual Machine Wizard does allow network configuration but it is not automatic.
Customize the Guest Operating System
When you customize a guest operating system, you can prevent conflicts that might result if you deploy virtual machines with identical settings, such as duplicate computer names. You can change the computer name, network settings, and license settings. You can customize guest operating systems when you clone a virtual machine or deploy a virtual machine from a template.

The proper answer is B,

B –
The Deploy Virtual Machine wizard allows for the use of Customizations which automates IP addressing, Sysprep can be used to unique Windows OSs (SID), built into newer OSs since Vista.
The other options don’t automate IP addressing

The correct answer is A, via Sysprep you can configure IP address using an answer file. and Sysprep is never old

P.S. It’s a VM question, not MS.

I think it’s A, reason is that there is no ‘Deploy Virtual Machine Wizard’, the vSphere technology is called the ‘Guest Customization wizard’. Another stupid question.
