The correct answer is A. Edit: /var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties, modify session.timeout=10. The administrator must edit the correct webclient.properties file at the right VCSA path and set the timeout value in minutes to enforce a 10-minute inactivity limit.

Why each option

The administrator must edit the correct webclient.properties file at the right VCSA path and set the timeout value in minutes to enforce a 10-minute inactivity limit.

AEdit: /var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties, modify session.timeout=10Correct

The file /var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties is the correct configuration path for the vSphere Web Client on the vCenter Server Appliance. The session.timeout property accepts values in minutes, so session.timeout=10 correctly enforces a 10-minute inactivity timeout as required by the security policy.

BEdit: /opt/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties, modify session.timeout=600

The path /opt/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties is not the correct location for this configuration file on the VCSA, and session.timeout=600 would set a 600-minute timeout rather than 10 minutes.

CEdit: /var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties modify session.timeout=600

While /var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties is the correct file path, session.timeout=600 sets a 600-minute inactivity timeout instead of the required 10 minutes.

DEdit: /opt/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties, modify session.timeout=10

The path /opt/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties is not the correct location for the webclient.properties file on the vCenter Server Appliance, making this option invalid despite the correct timeout value of 10.
