Which capability refers to the storage of VM data on the node where the VM is running and ensure that the read I/O does not have to traverse the network?
The correct answer is B. Data Locality. Data Locality is the Nutanix capability that ensures a VM's data is stored on the same physical node where the VM is currently running. When the VM performs a read, the I/O is served directly from the local node's SSD/HDD tier without traversing the network fabric, resulting in…

Explanation
Data Locality is the Nutanix capability that ensures a VM's data is stored on the same physical node where the VM is currently running. When the VM performs a read, the I/O is served directly from the local node's SSD/HDD tier without traversing the network fabric, resulting in lower latency and reduced network load. Nutanix continuously migrates data to follow VMs when they move via live migration. Intelligent Tiering/Data Tiering (C, D) refers to automatically moving data between storage tiers (SSD ↔ HDD) based on access frequency-a separate concept. 'Intelligent Locally' (A) is not a real Nutanix feature name.
