Explanation

Option A is correct because vRealize Operations Manager includes a built-in "Generate Passphrase" feature under its Administration interface, which allows a senior admin to create a temporary passphrase specifically for authenticating a new node into the cluster. The trainee uses this passphrase during the node-addition process instead of needing actual admin credentials, enabling secure delegation of the task.

Option B is wrong because it reverses the roles - in vROps, the senior admin generates the passphrase and shares it; the trainee does not self-generate a passphrase to gain access. Option C is wrong because "Reload Nodes" is used to restart existing cluster nodes, not to authorize or onboard new ones. Option D is wrong because cloning a data node would create a duplicate VM, not properly expand the cluster, and does nothing to address the credential delegation problem.

Memory tip: Think of the passphrase like a temporary badge - the admin mints it, hands it to the trainee, and it's only good for that one job (joining a node), so no permanent credentials are ever shared.
