Why each option

vSphere Data Protection is VMware's integrated VM backup and recovery solution and is the appropriate vSphere 6.x feature for enabling offsite disaster recovery.

ADistributed Power Management

Distributed Power Management (DPM) is a power-efficiency feature that consolidates workloads and powers down underutilized hosts to save energy, with no ability to back up, replicate, or recover data at a remote site.

BvSphere HA

vSphere HA automatically restarts VMs on surviving hosts within the same cluster after a host failure but does not back up or replicate data offsite and cannot recover from a full site outage.

CvSphere Data ProtectionCorrect

vSphere Data Protection (VDP) is an agentless, deduplication-based backup appliance integrated with vCenter that can back up VMs to disk targets and replicate backup data to a remote VDP appliance, making it the designated vSphere 6.x tool for offsite disaster recovery scenarios where backed-up data must be restored after a site-level event.

DDynamic Resource Scheduler

Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS) balances compute resources across hosts in a cluster by automating vMotion migrations but provides no backup, replication, or offsite disaster recovery capability.
