An administrator has a virtual machine (VM) that uses a shared USB device. Which option will allow the VM to utilize vMotion while retaining the maximum possible functionality?

Disabling the USB device allows vMotion but sacrifices the device's functionality, which does not meet the requirement of retaining maximum functionality.

Removing the device entirely allows vMotion but permanently eliminates the USB device from the VM, losing all functionality associated with it.

VMware vSphere provides a VM-level setting to allow vMotion even when a USB device is connected. Enabling this option via the VM's hardware configuration allows live migration to proceed while keeping the USB device assigned to the VM, though the device connection may briefly drop during migration - this retains maximum functionality compared to removal or disabling.

Enabling migration support on the individual USB device is a more granular action that does not fully configure the VM for vMotion; the correct approach is configuring vMotion support at the VM level.
