  1. NetCat says:

    An OVF is a collection of items in a single folder. Most commonly
    this is a description file (.ovf) a manifest file (.mf), and virtual
    machine state files (*.vhd or *.vmdk)

    An OVA is a single file.
    The OVA is the OVF folder contents all zipped into a single file. The
    purpose of the OVA is when you want to take an OVF and share it, or give
    it as a download. The OVA needs to be opened into the OVF before it can
    be consumed.

    The question is asking for a single file format, so the answer is B.

  2. just saying says:

    While there is “Export as OVF”, you don’t have “Export as OVA” option. First you have to “Export as OVF” and then choose the “OVA” option from the menu.

    Since it says “single file” the best option may be B.

  3. Someone says:

    In addition to the OVF descriptor, the OVF package will typically contain one or more disk images, and optionally certificate files and other auxiliary files. The entire directory can be distributed as an OVA package, which is a tar archive file with the OVF directory inside.
