What are two advantages of using vSphere Data Protection In a data center? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. Creates new virtual machines. C. Ensures minimum impact on network bandwidth.. vSphere Data Protection (VDP) minimizes network bandwidth impact through deduplication and provides application-consistent backups, but it does not create or migrate VMs.

Why each option
vSphere Data Protection (VDP) minimizes network bandwidth impact through deduplication and provides application-consistent backups, but it does not create or migrate VMs.
This answer is marked correct per the provided key; however, VDP is a backup and recovery appliance and does not actually create new virtual machines - this appears to be an error in the source question.
VM migration is handled by vSphere vMotion or Storage vMotion, not by vSphere Data Protection, which is exclusively a backup and recovery solution.
VDP uses changed block tracking (CBT) and deduplication to send only unique, changed data blocks over the network, significantly reducing the bandwidth consumed during backup jobs.
VDP does not increase backup data capacity; it actually reduces storage consumption through inline deduplication, which decreases the space required for backup data.
