Correct Answer: A
In theory, ‘B’ could also be correct if the question was specifically about vCS deployed as a VM. Otherwise, it can be a physical Windows server, in which case there’s no VMFS datastore.
Sorry, meant to say ‘C’ could also be correct…
The available storage on a VMFS volume (datastore) wouldn’t stop the VMware Server SERVICE from starting, it could stop the vcenter server from starting though.
