Which three configuration settings will be migrated when upgrading a host from ESX 4.x Classic to ESXi 5.x? (Choose three)

A.
The NTP configuration in /etc/atp.conf

B.
The syslog configuration in /etc/syslog.conf

C.
The hostname information in /etc/hosts

D.
The time zone configuration in /etc/local time

E.
/etc/vmware/esx.conf

Explanation:
Modified 11-5 Was A,B,C – Changed to only two answers A and C. ESX = Classic; Not ESXi – (The Daemon used for syslog on ESX is incompatible and not migrated) Modified 11-14 believed to be a 3 answer question so added a 3rd correct answer

o The upgrade process preserves as much of the ESX host configuration as possible. However, because of differences between ESX 4.x and ESXi
5.0 architecture, many configuration files cannot be migrated (Forbes: there are many more listed in the documentation, but I thought these were the most noteable examples):
/etc/logrotate.conf Not migrated. ESXi Logrotation is incompatible with prior versions.
/etc/localtime Not migrated. Timezones are not supported in ESXi.
/etc/syslog.conf Migrated for ESXi, not migrated for ESX.
/etc/sysconfig/network Migrated. Service Console virtual NICs (vswif) will be converted to ESXi virtual NICs (vmk).
/etc/sysconfig/i18n Not migrated. i18n is not supported in ESXi.
/etc/ssh Migrated. OpenSSH is now included in ESXi.
/etc/hosts.allow & hosts.deny Not migrated.
/etc/sudoers Not migrated. sudo is not supported in ESXi.
/etc/vmware/vmware.lic Not migrated. ESXi 5.0 upgrades are reset to evaluation mode.
