Why each option

OES requires NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 3 as a mandatory prerequisite before its services can be installed on an existing NetWare 6.5 server.

ANetWare 6.5 Support Pack 1

Support Pack 1 is far below the required level and does not include the system components that OES depends on for installation.

BNetWare 6.5 Support Pack 1a

Support Pack 1a is an interim patch release that still falls well short of the SP3 prerequisite and will not satisfy the OES installer check.

CNetWare 6.5 Support Pack 2

Support Pack 2 is closer but still one level below the documented minimum of SP3, and the OES installer will reject it as insufficient.

DNetWare 6.5 Support Pack 3Correct

Support Pack 3 delivers the updated kernel modules, libraries, and compatibility fixes that the OES installer checks for before proceeding, and attempting installation on a lower SP level causes the installer to abort. Novell documented SP3 as the explicit minimum support pack level required for OES deployment on NetWare 6.5.
