    Can someone confirm whether correct answer is ABC? It seems to me that it should be ABE for two reasons. (1) the screenshot shows 124 vMotions have already occurred, so I would think C is not correct; and (2) with only 2 hosts (as shown in the pic) a conservative DRS threshold would allow an imbalance as shown.

    Not C, because the picture shows that vMotion is up and running
    Not D, because the picture shows that there are clearly enough host memory and host CPU resources.
    The link also states:

    “The migration threshold is too high.
    A higher threshold makes the cluster a more likely candidate for load imbalance.”

    which makes ‘E’ valid

    ABC is possible because there is no vmotion network configured or vmotion is disabled for specific VM’s.
    You cannot see that in de picture, because it doesn’t display information about vmotion.
    You can enable EVC without a vmotion network in place.
    So ABC is possible, ABE makes also sense to me…

      Think the key words are: “observes unexpected behavior”, if DRS has been configured for a conservative migration threshold than it is not unexpected behavior, so i will go for ABC
