Explanation

Deploying an .ova file is a core vSphere operation, and the vSphere Client is the native tool for importing and deploying OVA/OVF packages into a vSphere environment - you use its "Deploy OVF Template" wizard to point at the downloaded file and configure the appliance. VCF Fleet Management is used for lifecycle management and scaling of VCF environments at a fleet level, not for individual appliance deployments. VCF Automation (formerly vRealize Automation) is an infrastructure-as-code and self-service provisioning platform, not an OVA deployment tool. VCF Operations (formerly vRealize Operations) is a monitoring and analytics product - it's actually the category the Logs appliance belongs to, which makes it a tempting but wrong choice.

Memory tip: Think "OVA → vSphere" - any time you're manually deploying an appliance file (.ova/.ovf), the answer is almost always the vSphere Client, regardless of what the appliance does once it's running.
