Which three steps must be taken to use vSphere Update Manager 6.x to upgrade an ESXi 5.5 host to vSphere 6.x? (Choose three.)
The correct answer is A. Download an ESXi Image. C. Create a baseline and attach it to the ESXi Host. E. Remediate the ESXi Host. Using vSphere Update Manager to upgrade an ESXi host requires importing an upgrade image, creating and attaching a baseline containing that image, and then remediating the host.

Why each option
Using vSphere Update Manager to upgrade an ESXi host requires importing an upgrade image, creating and attaching a baseline containing that image, and then remediating the host.
An ESXi upgrade image must be downloaded and imported into the VUM image repository because VUM uses this image as the upgrade source rather than individual patches - without the image, an upgrade baseline cannot be created.
The VUM Download Service downloads patches and metadata from VMware's online depot for patch-based baselines, but importing an ESXi upgrade image is a separate manual import step and the Download Service is not required for image-based host upgrades.
An upgrade baseline referencing the imported ESXi image must be created in VUM and attached to the target host or cluster, which defines the desired ESXi version state that remediation will enforce.
The vCenter Content Library is used to store and distribute VM templates and ISO files across vCenter instances, and it plays no role in the VUM ESXi upgrade workflow, which uses VUM's own internal image repository.
Remediation is the VUM action that enforces the attached baseline by placing the host in maintenance mode, running the ESXi installer using the upgrade image, and completing the version upgrade on the target host.
