The correct answer is B. HA will failover Marketing to ESXi hosts that are not in the Host group. D. DRS will not attempt to keep Marketing on the ESXi host 10.21.28.106..

Why each option
A 'Should' VM-Host affinity rule permits HA to failover VMs to hosts outside the Host Group, and DRS only targets hosts within the group - leaving unlisted hosts unaffected by placement attempts.
A 'Should' affinity rule does not prevent HA from failing over to hosts outside the Host Group; only a 'Must' rule enforces strict host placement restrictions during HA failover.
When a VM-Host affinity rule is set to 'Should' rather than 'Must', vSphere HA is permitted to violate the rule during a failover event to preserve VM availability, so Marketing VMs can be restarted on ESXi hosts outside the defined Host Group.
Host 10.21.38.106 is not part of the Host Group defined in the affinity rule, so DRS will not attempt to keep Marketing VMs on that host, making the claim in this statement incorrect.
Host 10.21.28.106 is not a member of the Host Group defined in the affinity rule, so DRS will not attempt to place or retain Marketing VMs on that host - DRS only targets hosts that belong to the configured group.
