Explanation

Pensando PSM (Policy and Services Manager) licensing is hypervisor-agnostic - it applies uniformly regardless of whether the underlying platform is ESXi or KVM. Licensing is tied to the number of Distributed Services Cards (DSCs) being managed and the feature tiers enabled, not to the virtualization layer beneath them. Option A (True) is incorrect because it implies a platform dependency that simply does not exist in PSM's licensing model; VMware ESXi and KVM are treated equivalently from a licensing perspective.

Memory tip: Think "PSM licenses the card, not the hypervisor" - the DSC is the licensable unit, so the hypervisor stack is irrelevant to your license count.
