Refer to the Exhibit. What will be the result of selecting the highlighted device?
The correct answer is A. Datastore will grow up to 200.01GB using the remaining free space on the device.. Selecting the highlighted device expands the existing VMFS datastore into the remaining free space on that same device, growing it up to the device's available capacity of 200.01GB.

Why each option
Selecting the highlighted device expands the existing VMFS datastore into the remaining free space on that same device, growing it up to the device's available capacity of 200.01GB.
When a device already hosting a VMFS partition is selected for expansion, vSphere grows the datastore into the unused free space remaining on that device rather than adding a new extent. The datastore capacity increases up to the total available space on the device, which in this exhibit is 200.01GB. This is an in-place grow operation on the existing device.
Adding a second extent requires selecting an entirely separate device; selecting the same existing device expands the current partition, not adds a new extent.
The physical device size is fixed hardware capacity and cannot be enlarged through a vSphere datastore configuration operation.
The device is suitable because it contains free space beyond the current partition that can be used to grow the datastore.
