Explanation
Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) installs a lightweight agent inside the VM guest OS that enables advanced Nutanix features. Disaster Recovery between AHV and ESXi hypervisors (A) requires NGT because cross-hypervisor replication relies on the in-guest agent to ensure application consistency and to facilitate the cross-platform migration workflow. Self-service file-level recovery from VM snapshots (D) requires NGT because the guest agent enables the VM to mount its own snapshots and present them as accessible volumes, allowing end users to restore individual files without administrator involvement. Live Migration between hypervisors (B) is not a supported Nutanix feature regardless of NGT. File recovery from third-party backup (C) is handled by the backup vendor's agent, not NGT.
