C for sure, D and A could be correct too….

D)VN-Link can be implemented as a Cisco distributed virtual switch, or DVS, running entirely in software within the hypervisor layer (Cisco Nexus 1000V Series) or in a new class of devices that support network interface virtualization, or NIV, and eliminate the need for software-based switching within hypervisors. VN-Link provides an immediate solution to virtual machine networking requirements, while laying the foundation for future enhanced and simplified connectivity options in virtualized data centers.

A) The VM-FEX software extends Cisco fabric extender technology to the virtual machine with the following capabilities:
*Each virtual machine includes a dedicated interface on the parent switch
*All virtual machine traffic is sent directly to the dedicated interface on the switch
*The software-based switch in the hypervisor is eliminated <— yes but it does need a DVS to work!
