Explanation

In the context of incrementally transforming data centers (as described in VMware NSX documentation), the 'selective network security virtualization' phase is defined by securing intra-host communication paths - that is, east-west traffic between virtual machines on the same physical host. In this phase, virtual firewalls and security services are applied to selected intra-host traffic flows without requiring all traffic to be redirected externally. The other options describe different phases: encapsulating all traffic corresponds to full virtualization phases, load balancing and forwarding to external appliances describe earlier or different transformation stages.
