You are designing your virtual network. Your network administrator has given you a list of features
that he hopes are supported by vSphere. Which of the following features requires a distributed
switch?

D.

The document that is referenced in the answer has this line:
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) allows vSphere administrators to determine which Cisco switch port connects to a given vSphere STANDARD switch or vSphere distributed switch.
So standard switches support CDP (I have used it). However, this document http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp#com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-FA7A38BA-002B-4AF0-B50A-9F371B2AF06A.html
states this:
LLDP is available only on vSphere distributed switch version 5.0.0 and later.
So I would choose D as my answer.

Answer is D.
Copied from website Linked:
CDP is available for vSphere standard switches and vSphere distributed switches connected to Cisco physical switches. LLDP is available for vSphere distributed switches version 5.0.0 and later.
