Explanation

VMware is the server virtualization platform integrated with Cisco Business Edition 6000 (BE6000), enabling multiple UC applications (such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Unity Connection, and IM & Presence) to run as virtual machines on a single physical Cisco UCS server. Microsoft (A) offers Hyper-V virtualization but is not the embedded platform for BE6000. Citrix (B) specializes in application/desktop virtualization and virtual desktops, not server virtualization for UC deployments. Cisco (D) makes the underlying UCS hardware and the BE6000 solution itself, but the hypervisor layer is VMware's ESXi - Cisco does not produce its own general-purpose hypervisor.

Memory tip: Think "VMware = Virtual Machines" - BE6000 is essentially a pre-configured VMware ESXi appliance purpose-built by Cisco. If you remember that Cisco partners with VMware for its UC virtualization stack (not Microsoft or Citrix), the answer locks in.
