From the vSphere Web Client. For more information, see Viewing Log Files with the Log Browser in the vSphere Web Client in the vSphere Monitoring and Performance Guide.

A and B are correct, the host has just been installed. In vsphere 6 i believe you can access the host using a special kind of web client, but until then, if you want to connect with the host, it has to be either using DCUI or the windows client (vsphere client).

Only option C is incorrect (but).
a) clear
b) file->export->Export system Logs
c) vSWC is not active on ESXi, but using ESXi web gui it is possible to browse files “https://ip/host” or using vSWC connected to vCenter, not to ESXi. Anyway incorrect.
d)similar to b, but choose host first (or later).

But maybe option “C” should be understood as “use web browser to connect to the ESXi host”?
If so, A&C (direct access to logs and not to the log bundle) may be preferred.

Update – D is incorrect, as it is a new installed ESXi (not added to the vCenter yet?). I this context A and B.

C is incorrect as you cannot connect a web client directly to a host

The answer is A and B.
C – NO because vsphere web client cannot connect to host, only to vcenter.
D – NO because connecting to vcenter show only the vcenter logs (vpxd). You can export a “System Logs” with included the logs hostd.log, vmkernel.log and vpxa.log but this operation is not Immediately as required by the question.
