Refer to the exhibit. You create a static VLAN pool to be used for VMM integration. On which component do you configure the VLANs in the pool?
The correct answer is D. VMware vSwitch. When integrating ACI with VMware and creating a static VLAN pool for VMM integration, the VLANs within that pool are configured on the VMware vSwitch.

Why each option
When integrating ACI with VMware and creating a static VLAN pool for VMM integration, the VLANs within that pool are configured on the VMware vSwitch.
Cisco AVS (Application Virtual Switch) is a specific Cisco-developed virtual switch for VMware environments, not a general vSwitch where VLANs are configured.
DVS (Distributed Virtual Switch) is a type of VMware vSwitch, but 'VMware vSwitch' is a more general and accurate term encompassing both standard and distributed virtual switches, representing the component where VLANs are applied to ports.
Fabric Interconnects are components of Cisco UCS, not directly involved in configuring VLANs within a VMware vSwitch for ACI VMM integration.
In a VMware VMM integration with ACI, the VLANs defined in a static VLAN pool are directly programmed onto the VMware vSwitch (or Distributed vSwitch - DVS). The ACI fabric manages the policies, but the actual VLAN tagging for virtual machines occurs on the hypervisor's virtual switch.
