Explanation

App Volumes is VMware's application delivery component integrated with Horizon, and it maintains its own dedicated database where application entitlements and assignments are stored - making B correct. When a Horizon admin assigns users to an application pool, the Connection Server queries the App Volumes database to retrieve those entitlements and deliver the appropriate apps.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (vCenter Server Database): vCenter manages the virtualization layer (VMs, hosts, clusters) and has no role in tracking which users are entitled to which apps.
• C (Active Directory Database): AD handles authentication and group membership, but Horizon/App Volumes stores application-specific entitlements in its own database rather than writing them back to AD.
• D (Events Database): The Horizon Events database is an audit log for tracking what happened (logins, disconnects, errors) - it's read-after-the-fact, not consulted during entitlement lookups.

Memory tip: Match the component to its database - App pool entitlements live in the App Volumes database. If the question is about applications, App Volumes owns that data.
