You are creating a virtual machine in the Web Client using the New Virtual Machine wizard. Which two steps are required? (Choose two.)

A valid, unique virtual machine name is required by the wizard because vSphere uses it to identify the VM object in inventory and to name the associated VMX configuration and VMDK files on the datastore.

Selecting a cluster is not mandatory; the wizard accepts a standalone host, resource pool, or vApp as the compute resource target, so a cluster is just one valid option rather than a required choice.

Adding a network adapter is optional during VM creation; the wizard allows the VM to be created without a NIC, which can be attached later through Edit Settings after the VM exists.

Selecting virtual machine compatibility - the hardware version - is a required wizard step because it determines which virtual hardware features are exposed to the guest OS and must align with the capabilities of the target ESXi host version.
