Users have reported several application VMs are performing very slowly. The system administrator was requested to find out the source of the problem on both VMs and/or ESXi hosts level. vRealize…

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  11% (5)
• D
  82% (37)

Explanation

Option D is correct because vRealize Operations ships with out-of-the-box Performance dashboards that display resource contention (CPU, memory, disk, network) at both the VM and ESXi host levels - no additional configuration like Application Remote Collector is required, making it the fastest path to diagnosing slow VMs.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because ICMP Remote Checks only test network reachability (ping), not resource contention; additionally, "Manage Agent" functionality depends on the Application Remote Collector, which the question explicitly states is not configured.
• B is wrong because Configuration Reports show VM configuration settings and changes over time - useful for auditing, not for diagnosing active performance degradation.
• C is wrong because Object Relationships under Administration is a topology/inventory view showing how objects relate to each other, not a performance or contention analysis tool.

Memory tip: When vROps lacks Application Remote Collector, you lose application-layer visibility - but host and VM contention dashboards are always available out-of-the-box. Remember: "slow VMs = contention = Dashboard." The keyword contention in Option D is your signal - performance problems in virtualized environments almost always trace back to resource contention on the hypervisor.
