Explanation
Two separate issues need addressing: the accuracy of the underlying time source and the timezone offset displayed in logs. Configuring NTP within Prism (A) synchronizes the CVMs and AHV hosts to an authoritative time server, ensuring the cluster's system clock is accurate. Configuring the time zone for each VM using Prism (C) corrects the timezone offset so that timestamps in guest logs reflect the intended local time rather than defaulting to UTC. Option B (configuring inside each guest) is the manual, guest-OS approach but is not the Nutanix-managed method. Option D (NTP inside each guest) addresses time sync at the guest level but not timezone.
