Why each option
The Cisco Nexus 1000V is a distributed virtual switch for VMware environments that allows the networking team to control virtual machine switching and policy without relying on the hypervisor team.
Unified Computing System (UCS) is a server and fabric interconnect platform for compute infrastructure, not a virtualized network switching solution for VMware.
The Cisco Nexus 1000V Distributed Virtual Switch integrates with VMware vSphere and replaces the VMware standard vSwitch with a Cisco-managed virtual switch. This transfers control of port profiles, QoS, security policies, and network configuration for VM vNICs to the networking team using familiar Cisco NX-OS CLI, without requiring hypervisor administrator involvement.
Virtual network agent is not a defined Cisco product or recognized virtualization solution for transferring switching control.
A Nexus unified fabric switch is a physical data center switch and does not provide virtual machine switching policy management within a VMware host.
