By elimination the answer is A.
B is wrong, because that functionality is not bound to a particular hardware version.
C is wrong, because there is no way you can configure startup actions on the virtual machines.
D is wrong too. i leave it to others to say why.
so by elimination the right answer is A.
Set the delay for the startup action.
■ Enter a time delay in seconds for the startup action.
■ Select VMware Tools are ready to perform the startup action when VMware Tools has started.
So, if there is no VMware Tools, you can not perform the startup action.
The answer is A.
