Explanation

In Nutanix AHV, when a VM is associated with multiple VM-Host affinity policies, the newest (most recently created or applied) policy takes precedence over older ones. This last-write-wins behavior provides a predictable conflict resolution mechanism, ensuring that administrators can update affinity rules by applying a new policy without needing to explicitly remove the old one first. Option B (automatic removal from all policies) would be disruptive and is not how Nutanix handles this. Option C (all policies applied simultaneously) could create conflicting constraints that are impossible to satisfy. Option D (oldest policy applies) is the opposite of the actual behavior and would make it impossible to override existing affinity rules without manual cleanup.
