The correct answer is B. Copy the storage settings from Standard-Config to all other host profiles. To apply only the storage configuration from a specific host profile to other host profiles, the administrator should use the host profile feature to copy those particular settings. This ensures only the storage configuration is modified in the target profiles.

Why each option
To apply only the storage configuration from a specific host profile to other host profiles, the administrator should use the host profile feature to copy those particular settings. This ensures only the storage configuration is modified in the target profiles.
Exporting and importing host customizations typically relates to specific host overrides, not the modification of existing host profiles with selective settings.
VMware Host Profiles allow administrators to manage host configurations consistently. The functionality to 'copy settings' enables the administrator to selectively apply specific configuration categories, such as storage, from an existing host profile (Standard-Config) to other target host profiles, thereby overwriting only those particular settings without affecting others.
Duplicating the host profile would create new profiles with all settings from Standard-Config, requiring extra steps to remove non-storage configurations from each new profile.
Exporting Standard-Config and attaching it to other hosts would apply *all* settings of Standard-Config to those hosts, not just the storage settings to *other host profiles*.
