Why each option
Based on the `show vdc` command output, the asterisk next to a VDC indicates that the current user context is within that specific Virtual Device Context.
The admin VDC is always configured and active by default when a Cisco Nexus device is operational; it cannot be unconfigured.
Without the exhibit, stating there are exactly four VDCs that forward Ethernet traffic is an assumption and not verifiable from the question stem alone, and the key identifier is the asterisk.
In Cisco Nexus `show vdc` command output, an asterisk '*' placed next to a VDC ID or name signifies that the current command line interface (CLI) session is operating within that specific Virtual Device Context, which is typically the admin VDC by default.
It is incorrect to assume that only one VDC can forward traffic, as multiple VDCs can be active and capable of forwarding traffic simultaneously.
