There are several reasons to prefer vmxnet to vlance.
Which if these is NOT a reason?

A.
vmxnet can offer better performance

B.
vmxnet places less burden on system CPU.

C.
vmxnet is easier to install

D.
vmxnet’s software driver was purposely written for a virtual device.

Explanation:
Reviewed: This is an old VCP-410 not sure if this is on the test. Please confirm..

Choose C because it made the most sense.

A. VMxnet does offer better perf over vLance
B. It does place less burden
C. Its a driver so its not any easier in fact you have to have VMtools installed for VMxnet drivers to work vlance you dont.

The following NIC types are supported:

E1000

Emulated version of the Intel 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet NIC, with drivers available in most newer guest operating systems, including Windows XP and later and Linux versions 2.4.19 and later.

Flexible

Identifies itself as a Vlance adapter when a virtual machine boots, but initializes itself and functions as either a Vlance or a VMXNET adapter, depending on which driver initializes it. With VMware Tools installed, the VMXNET driver changes the Vlance adapter to the higher performance VMXNET adapter.

Vlance

Emulated version of the AMD 79C970 PCnet32 LANCE NIC, an older 10 Mbps NIC with drivers available in most 32bit guest operating systems except Windows Vista and later. A virtual machine configured with this network adapter can use its network immediately.

VMXNET

Optimized for performance in a virtual machine and has no physical counterpart. Because operating system vendors do not provide built-in drivers for this card, you must install VMware Tools to have a driver for the VMXNET network adapter available.

VMXNET 2 (Enhanced)

Based on the VMXNET adapter but provides high-performance features commonly used on modern networks, such as jumbo frames and hardware offloads. VMXNET 2 (Enhanced) is available only for some guest operating systems on ESX/ESXi 3.5 and later.

VMXNET 3

Next generation of a paravirtualized NIC designed for performance. VMXNET 3 offers all the features available in VMXNET 2 and adds several new features, such as multiqueue support (also known as Receive Side Scaling in Windows), IPv6 offloads, and MSI/MSI-X interrupt delivery. VMXNET 3 is not related to VMXNET or VMXNET 2
