   B and D are correct

   ESXi shapes outbound network traffic on standard switches and also supports Vlans

      Just to be sharp:
      Standard vSwitch ONLY supports Egress traffic shaping AND VLANs.
      Distributed vSwitch supports ALL including Ingress traffic shaping AND Private Virtual Local Area Networks (PVLAN)

      N.B.
      The pvlanType of a primary PVLAN entry must be promiscuous. A secondary PVLAN entry can have a pvlanType of either community or isolated.

   ESXi lets you to shape outbound traffic on standard switches.

   Within a standard vSwitch, you can only enforce traffic shaping on outbound traffic that is being sent out of an object—such as a VM or VMkernel port—toward another object. This is referred to by VMware as “ingress traffic”

   So, I suppose answers are A and D…?
