    Link provided by Yun explains much better.

    We don’t have option of Intel VT or AMD-V as answer but LAHF/SAHF is available.

    The article says, “support for LAHF/SAHF is typically tied into the Virtualization Technology (VT) option in a server BIOS which is often referred to Intel VT or AMD-V which is their respective support for virtualization CPU technology”

    Supported server platform.
    ESXi 5.5 will install and run only on servers with 64-bit x86 CPUs.
    ESXi 5.5 requires a host machine with at least two cores.
    ESXi 5.5 supports only LAHF and SAHF CPU instructions.
    ESXi 5.5 requires the NX/XD bit to be enabled for the CPU in the BIOS.
    ESXi supports a broad range of x64 multicore processors.
    ESXi requires a minimum of 4GB of physical RAM. Provide at least 8GB of RAM to take full advantage of ESXi features and run virtual machines in typical production environments.
    To support 64-bit virtual machines, support for hardware virtualization (Intel VT-x or AMD RVI) must be enabled on x64 CPUs.
    One or more Gigabit or 10Gb Ethernet controllers.

    Any combination of one or more of the following controllers:
    — Basic SCSI controllers. Adaptec Ultra-160 or Ultra-320, LSI Logic Fusion-MPT, or most NCR/Symbios SCSI.
    — RAID controllers. Dell PERC (Adaptec RAID or LSI MegaRAID), HP Smart Array RAID, or IBM (Adaptec) ServeRAID controllers.
    SCSI disk or a local, non-network, RAID LUN with unpartitioned space for the virtual machines.
    For Serial ATA (SATA), a disk connected through supported SAS controllers or supported on-board SATA controllers. SATA disks will be considered remote, not local. These disks will not be used as a scratch partition by default because they are seen as remote.

  3. Papali says:

    A and B are requirement of ESX 5.5.
    C is need to avoid problems with VMmotion.
    D is recommend to active for best performance.

    BUT, the correct answer is A, becasue is the only that can generate the message error “Hardware Virtualization is not a feature of the CPU, or is not enabled in the BIOS”
