Which storage feature always requires the use of third-party software on ESXi?
A.
Hardware Acceleration for NAS devices
B.
VVOL
C.
Hardware Acceleration for Block Devices
D.
VM Storage Policies
Explanation:
With the hardware acceleration, ESXi hosts can integrate with NAS devices and use several hardware
operations that NAS storage provides. The hardware acceleration uses vSphere APIs for Array Integration
(VAAI) to facilitate communications between the hosts and storage devices.

Vasa provider is allways neccesary for VVOLS but you not need a third-party software, you have to configure vasa provider, but is not necessary to install anything

Correct A
With NAS storage devices, the hardware acceleration integration is implemented through vendor-specific NAS plug-ins. These plug-ins are typically created by vendors and are distributed as VIB packages through a website. No claim rules are required for the NAS plug-ins to function.
Several tools for installing and upgrading VIB packages are available.
