Why each option
Windows HomeGroup was a feature introduced exclusively with Windows 7 and was not available in any prior Windows version including Vista or XP.
Windows Vista does not support HomeGroup; the feature was not introduced until Windows 7, so this combination is incorrect.
Windows Vista has no HomeGroup capability whatsoever; it predates the feature entirely.
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition predates HomeGroup by several years and has no support for this feature regardless of edition.
HomeGroup was a new networking feature introduced in Windows 7 that enabled easy file and printer sharing between PCs on a home network. It was not available in Windows Vista, Windows XP, or any earlier version. All machines that need to participate in a HomeGroup must therefore be running Windows 7, making it the only correct answer.
