Explanation

On the virtual WSA, Cisco uses a file-based licensing model, and the loadlicense CLI command is the correct mechanism to upload and activate that license file - making B correct. Option A (featurekey) is the command used on physical WSA appliances to manage feature keys, not virtual ones, so it's a classic trap answer that tests whether you know the virtual/physical distinction. Option C (update) handles software and rule updates, not licensing at all. Options D and E both point to GUI paths that do exist on the WSA, but D (Feature Keys page) is for viewing currently active feature keys, and E (Feature Key Settings) controls how the appliance retrieves key updates - neither is used to initially enable licensed features on a virtual appliance.

Memory tip: Think "Virtual = Load a License" - loadlicense for virtual, featurekey for physical. The "load" in the command name hints at uploading a license file, which is exactly how virtual appliance licensing works.
