The correct answer is A. Apache Server C. SQL Server. VMware Fault Tolerance in vSphere 6.x supports a maximum of 4 vCPUs per protected VM, so only the 1-vCPU Apache Server and 4-vCPU SQL Server qualify; vCenter Server is an unsupported workload type and the Hadoop Server exceeds the vCPU ceiling.

Why each option
VMware Fault Tolerance in vSphere 6.x supports a maximum of 4 vCPUs per protected VM, so only the 1-vCPU Apache Server and 4-vCPU SQL Server qualify; vCenter Server is an unsupported workload type and the Hadoop Server exceeds the vCPU ceiling.
The Apache Server has 1 vCPU, which is well within the 4-vCPU maximum supported by VMware Fault Tolerance, making it a valid candidate for FT protection.
VMware does not support enabling Fault Tolerance on vCenter Server because it is a management infrastructure component with operational requirements - such as network and storage access patterns - that are incompatible with FT constraints.
The SQL Server has 4 vCPUs, which exactly meets the maximum vCPU count supported by VMware FT in vSphere 6.x, qualifying it for Fault Tolerance configuration.
The Hadoop Server uses 8 vCPUs, which exceeds the VMware Fault Tolerance maximum of 4 vCPUs per VM, making it ineligible for FT regardless of cluster configuration.
