An administrator wishes to send traffic from a vNetwork Distributed Switch to a collector virtual machine for analysis. vSphere 5 has been deployed in the datacenter.
Which two configurations will enable the functionality? (Choose two)
A.
The source and target virtual machines must be on the same vNetwork Switch.
B.
The source and target virtual machines must both be on a vNetwork Switch, but can be on any vDS datacenter.

Answer is B and D
I agree with the answers (“B. The source and target virtual machines must both be on a vNetwork Switch, but can be on any vDS datacenter.” and “D. The port group on distributed port must have NetFlow enabled.”).
A small correction to the Explanation: the correct page of the document vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-networking-guide.pdf is 72, not 70
D is the only correct answer.
The Netflow collector can be located anywhere, it’s routable so it can be located on the physical network:
