The answer is D: an NSX EGS is an appliance that is not distributed and is there to provide north/south traffic routing. For east west the DLR is the component that does this.
Micheal,
Dave is correct, the answer is indeed B. VMware documentation states that “The NSX Edge logical (distributed) router provides East-West distributed routing with tenant IP address space and data path isolation.”

Sorry I misread option D: I thought it said NSX Logical Router, not NSX Logical Firewall – my excuse was 12.30am in the morning my time.
Again a falls answer of VMware. If I look at the GUI, I have the option NSX Edges. In that section I have to types: Logical router or NSX Edge. The NSX Edge is for routing north south trafic, edge firewall or loadbalacing and is not distributed , only HA. The answer must be NSX Edges (this is both NSX Edge and Logical router) or only Logical router.
Is a terminology situation here, DLR is also called distributed edge. Remember where you add a DLR.
