Explanation

If a VM is unable to migrate, the most likely cause is that it is an Agent VM (such as a Nutanix Witness VM or a VM with special dependencies). Option C (Disable Agent VM) is correct: Some Agent VMs are configured to prevent migration due to critical roles (e.g., a Witness VM for Metro Availability). Disabling Agent VM restrictions allows it to migrate before a host enters maintenance mode.
