Which baseline is used to identify a Zombie VM?
The correct answer is D. Fewer than 30 1/Os and less than 1000 bytes per day of network traffic for the past 21 days. In Nutanix Prism's Intelligent Operations, a Zombie VM is defined as a virtual machine that has shown fewer than 30 I/O operations AND less than 1,000 bytes per day of network traffic over the past 21 days. This combination of low disk I/O and minimal network activity indicates…

Explanation
In Nutanix Prism's Intelligent Operations, a Zombie VM is defined as a virtual machine that has shown fewer than 30 I/O operations AND less than 1,000 bytes per day of network traffic over the past 21 days. This combination of low disk I/O and minimal network activity indicates the VM is running but not being actively used, consuming resources unnecessarily. Option A (powered off) describes an 'Inactive' VM, not a Zombie - a Zombie VM is still powered on. Option B (memory metrics) and Option C (no logins) are not the criteria Nutanix uses for this classification.
