Why each option

The vSphere High Availability agent is called the Fault Domain Manager (FDM), and its log file is named fdm.log located on each ESXi host.

Afdm.logCorrect

fdm.log is the log file for the Fault Domain Manager, which is the vSphere HA agent running on each ESXi host - it records HA agent activity, master/slave elections, heartbeat status, and VM restart events.

Bha.log

ha.log is not a standard vSphere log file; no such file exists as a dedicated HA log in the ESXi logging subsystem.

Cvpxa.log

vpxa.log is the log for the vCenter Server agent (vpxa) that runs on the ESXi host to communicate with vCenter, not the HA component.

Daam.log

aam.log references the old Automated Availability Manager agent name used in vSphere 4.x and earlier; the current HA agent is FDM and its log is fdm.log.
