Why each option
To complete the configuration for a SAN SPAN session on a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch for Fabric-A VSAN 11 traffic, the specific VSAN must be designated as the source.
Activating a NetFlow monitoring session is for IP traffic, not Fibre Channel traffic on an N5K for SAN monitoring.
Creating a SAN traffic monitoring session is a general action; the question asks for the specific detail to *complete* the configuration, which is defining the source.
Setting VLAN 11 as the traffic destination is incorrect; VLANs are for Ethernet, VSANs are for Fibre Channel, and the destination is typically a physical interface where the monitoring device is connected, not a VSAN.
For a SAN SPAN session to monitor all traffic within a specific Fibre Channel VSAN, that VSAN (VSAN 11 in this case) must be explicitly selected as the source of traffic to be mirrored.
