Options
- AvMotion
- BDynamic Resource Scheduler
- CDistributed Power Management

Explanation
VMware Distributed Power Management (DPM) reduces cluster energy consumption by consolidating VMs onto fewer hosts and powering off idle hosts during low utilization periods.
Common mistakes.
- A. vMotion live-migrates running VMs between powered-on hosts for load balancing or maintenance but does not control host power states or manage energy consumption.
- B. Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS) balances CPU and memory workloads across cluster hosts in real time but does not power hosts on or off to conserve energy.
- D. Storage vMotion migrates VM virtual disks between datastores while VMs remain running and has no role in host power management or cluster energy savings.
