Explanation

Nutanix Prism Central VM Templates support four guest customization methods when deploying from a template: (1) Sysprep - for Windows VMs, handles SID generation and hostname/domain configuration; (2) Cloud-init - for Linux VMs, handles per-instance configuration via user-data/meta-data; (3) Custom Script - allows administrators to supply their own raw script content; (4) Guided Script - a structured, wizard-driven approach to building customization scripts. Options B (Bash/PowerShell) and C (Python/YAML) are not the categorization used by Nutanix for template customization.
