A virtual machine is exhibiting these symptoms:
Memory usage is constantly high (94% or greater) or constantly low (24% or less).
Free memory is consistently 6% or less and swapping frequently occurs
Which three solutions could correct this problem? (Choose three.)
A.
Verify that VMware Tools is installed on each virtual machine.
B.
Decrease the memory reservation setting, if higher than active memory.
C.
Add physical memory to the host.
D.
Disable the balloon driver in each virtual machine.
E.
Create a memory limit for each virtual machine.

Working link…same as other balloon question. See section titled: Memory Performance Enhancement Advice

So, ABC are correct answers.
If all the symptoms are observed withing a VM (high % usage of internal memory and frequent internal swapping), they are the classic indicators of insufficient memory configured for this VM, thus making all available answers N/A.
A,B,C would help only if the described symptoms pertain to the ESX host where the VM is running.
