An administrator is trying to set up Host Partial Failure Response, but the Automated option is grayed out.
What can the administrator change to enable the Automated option?
A.
Change the vSphere DRS Automation level to Partially Automated.
B.
Change the vSphere DRS Automation level to Fully Automated.
C.
Enable vSphere HA Host Monitoring.
D.
Change the vSphere DPM Automation level to Automatic.
I could not get in this situation, tried all the answers to test the behaviour, but I was able to change between Manual and Automated every time. If DRS is turned off, than you cannot turn on Proactive HA at all.
C looks the best choice here.

When enabling vSphere HA you will get an option to “Enable Host Monitoring”. Without host monitoring, the automated option will not work.

Under Failures and Responses select Enable Host Monitoring.
With Host Monitoring enabled, hosts in the cluster can exchange network heartbeats and vSphere HA can take action when it detects failures.

Once Proactive HA has been turned on, click on Proactive HA Failures and Responses. You’ll see Automation Level, Remediation, and Provider sections.

I think B makes more sense.

Proactive HA requires DRS Feature…
Right?

C is correct
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-C26254A3-9A4F-4D32-96EC-4A08314753B1.html

Agreed. From the above:
You can set specific responses to host failures that occur in your vSphere HA cluster.
About this task
This page is editable only if you have enabled vSphere HA.

Why A:
You can configure how Proactive HA responds when a provider has notified its health degradation to vCenter, indicating a partial failure of that host.
This page is editable only if you have enabled vSphere DRS.

on Proactive HA Failures and Responses. You’ll see Automation Level, Remediation, and Provider sections. If we expand both of these two sections you will see what should be very familiar to you, DRS Automation level settings, which are independent of DRS for the cluster. These settings are 100% solely for Proactive HA. If placed in Manual mode, you WILL have to watch for the DRS recommendations and apply the recommendations within the web client.

c Select Turn ON vSphere HA.
d Select Turn ON Proactive HA to allow proactive migrations of VMs from hosts on which a
provider has notified a health degradation.
6 Under Failures and Responses select Enable Host Monitoring
With Host Monitoring enabled, hosts in the cluster can exchange network heartbeats and vSphere HA
can take action when it detects failures. Host Monitoring is required for the vSphere Fault Tolerance
recovery process to work properly
