An administrator has purchased a new 10GB Converged Network Adapter (CNA) for installation in a system that is running ESXi 5.x. The administrator has downloaded the latest driver from the hardware vendor and wants to include the driver in an image. The image profile acceptance level is set to VMwareSupported. The acceptance level of the driver is PartnerSupported.

There can not be 2 choices for this question because image can not be created in such scenario.
“The system expects that the acceptance level of the VIBs you add to the base image is at least as high as the
level of the base image. Pass in the -AcceptanceLevel parameter to change the acceptance level of the image
profile if you have to add a VIB with a lower acceptance level”
If you want to add a VIB to an image profile, and the VIB acceptance level is lower than the image profile acceptance level
so the ANS is ‘C’ Only
The correct answer is C. Driver acceptance level is below the image level and as such the image will not be build.
C is the correct answer
