Why each option

WAN Optimization Module (WOM) optimizes vMotion traffic over WAN links, ensuring live VM migrations complete without user-visible interruptions.

ATrueCorrect

WOM compresses and deduplicates vMotion traffic traversing WAN links, reducing bandwidth consumption and latency. This optimization ensures that the memory transfer phase of a vMotion operation completes within the required convergence window, preventing the guest OS from stalling or the migration from failing. Without WOM, high-latency or low-bandwidth WAN links would cause vMotion timeouts and VM downtime.

BFalse

False is incorrect because WOM specifically addresses the WAN bandwidth and latency constraints that would otherwise cause vMotion transfers to exceed their convergence threshold and interrupt the hosted workloads.
