Why each option
vSphere HA and Fault Tolerance are the two features designed specifically to protect virtual machines and their data against physical host failures.
Virtual Volumes (vVols) is a storage integration framework that abstracts VM storage on external arrays but provides no host-failure protection or mechanism to prevent data loss from a crashed server.
Enhanced vMotion Capability enables live migration of VMs between hosts including those with local storage, but it is a planned migration tool and does not protect against unplanned host failures or prevent data loss.
vSphere High Availability monitors all ESXi hosts in a cluster and automatically restarts protected virtual machines on surviving hosts within minutes when a host failure is detected, limiting data loss and downtime from a crashed server.
vSphere Fault Tolerance maintains a continuously synchronized secondary VM on a separate host using vLockstep technology, so if the primary host crashes the secondary instantly takes over with zero data loss and zero downtime.
Concept tested: vSphere HA and Fault Tolerance for host failure protection
