Explanation

Live migration within the same FusionCompute cluster is designed to be completely transparent to the network - the VM moves between physical hosts while maintaining its entire network identity. Since the VM itself (including its virtual NIC and network configuration) is what migrates, the MAC address (C) and IP address (B) travel with it unchanged, ensuring active connections are not dropped. VLANs (A) are not altered because the destination host belongs to the same cluster and the same virtual switch configuration; the VM simply reconnects to the same VLAN segment. Security groups (D) are policies attached to the VM object itself, not to the physical host, so they persist through migration without modification.

There are no wrong distractors here - this is an "all of the above" question. The key insight is that live migration moves the running state of the VM between hosts; nothing about the VM's network identity or policy changes because the migration stays within the same cluster's unified networking fabric.

Memory tip: Think of live migration like carrying a running fish tank to another room in the same house - the fish (VM), water (state), and tank markings (MAC, IP, VLAN, security groups) all stay the same. Only the shelf (physical host) changes.
