Why each option

VMware vSphere 6.5 supports a maximum of 128 vCPUs per virtual machine, a limit defined in the VMware Configuration Maximums for that release.

A246

246 vCPUs per VM is not a valid VMware vSphere configuration maximum for any supported release, making it a fabricated distractor.

B128Correct

vSphere 6.5 raised the per-VM vCPU ceiling to 128, allowing workloads such as large databases and HPC applications to leverage more parallelism. This is documented in the official VMware Configuration Maximums guide for vSphere 6.5.

C64

64 vCPUs per VM was the limit in earlier vSphere versions (e.g., vSphere 5.0), not vSphere 6.5, which doubled the ceiling to 128.

D32

32 vCPUs per VM corresponds to much older vSphere releases and is far below the limit introduced in vSphere 6.5.
