An administrator tries to connect the vSphere 5.5 Client to an ESXi 6.x host. What will happen when this takes place?
The correct answer is C. The operation will prompt the administrator to run a script to upgrade the vSphere Client. The operation will fail because vSphere client 5.5 is deprecated in vSphere 6.x. You simply cannot connect a 5.5 vsphere client to a 6.x host because they are not compatible.
