I agree with C and D being the correct answers.

When CDP or LLDP is enabled for a particular vSphere distributed switch or vSphere standard switch, you can view properties of the peer physical switch such as device ID, software version, and timeout from the vSphere Web Client.

LLDP = Link Layer Discovery Protocol
CDP = Cisco Discovery Protocol
DPM = Distributed Power Management
