Explanation

A VM-to-host Affinity policy in Nutanix Prism defines a positive binding between selected VMs and a designated set of host nodes, ensuring the scheduler only places those VMs on the specified hosts. This is used for licensing compliance, hardware-specific requirements, or workload isolation. Anti-affinity (B) does the opposite - it spreads VMs apart to avoid co-location. Isolation (A) refers to network or fault domain isolation, not VM placement. 'Fixed' (D) is not a standard Nutanix placement policy name.
