What are two possible causes of the problem?

Answer should be A and D

as your explanation in http://www.aiotestking.com/vmware/2012/01/which-of-the-following-could-be-a-possible-cause-of-the-problem-choose-two-4/

Incorrect answer:
B: The remote console uses the ESXi hosts VMkernel management port exclusively. You don’t have to have a pNic connected to a virtual machine port group (hence no speed/duplex issues possible) but you can still access the remote console via the vsphere client.
C: ESXi does not have a ‘service console’

the correct should be B and D.

The remote console performance for a virtual machine on an ESXi Host appears to be degraded. Which of the following could be a possible cause of the problem (Choose Two)?
A.
The physical NIC assigned to the virtual machine port group containing the affected virtual machine has a speed or duplex mismatch
B.
The virtual NIC assigned to the virtual machine has a speed or duplex mismatch
C.
The physical NIC assigned to the Service Console port group has a speed or duplex mismatch
D.
The physical NIC assigned to the VMkernel port group has a speed or duplex mismatch
B is evidently incorrect!
because pNic is assigned to certain port or port group rather than virtual machine.

ESXi does not have a ‘service console’ (D) but C is not correct. The remote console uses the ESXi hosts VMkernel management port exclusively. You don’t have to have a pNic connected to a virtual machine port group (hence no speed/duplex issues possible) but you can still access the remote console via the vsphere client.

The remote console performance for a virtual machine on an ESXi host appears to be degraded.
What are two possible causes of the problem? (Choose two.)
A.
The virtual NIC assigned to the virtual machine has a speed or duplex mismatch.
B.
The physical NIC assigned to the virtual machine port group containing the affected virtual machine has a speed or duplex mismatch.
C.
The physical NIC assigned to the Service Console port group has a speed or duplex mismatch.
D.
The physical NIC assigned to the VMkernel port group has a speed or duplex mismatch.
You can not set the Virtual NIC speed/duplex in ESXi so A is wrong.
Remote console is display by using the management port group that is VMkernel so D is correct
B is correct ?
If Physical NIC is use by VM Port Group has some Problem then there should be no remote console performance degradation so i am douted on B

I think it should be A and D. No physical port can be assigned to VM, but has to be vnic.
