Why each option
Legacy Fault Tolerance is included starting with vSphere Standard edition, making it the minimum license required to enable this feature.
vSphere Standard is the minimum edition that includes Fault Tolerance licensing. Legacy FT, which protects VMs with up to 1 vCPU, is available in Standard, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus editions, so Standard satisfies the minimum requirement.
Enterprise includes FT but is not the minimum edition - Standard also provides this feature, making Enterprise a higher-than-necessary requirement.
Enterprise Plus includes FT but is not the minimum edition required, as lower-tier editions already include this capability.
Essentials Plus is a small-business SKU that does not include Fault Tolerance licensing, making it insufficient for this configuration.
