The correct answer is D. 8.

Explanation

As we can see at the top we have 14vCPUs, 7VMs. So we have 14 vCPUs to distribute between the 7 VMs. I've broken down my thought process into several steps after looking for hints: Now, seeing how high RDY is we definately get a hint that FileSever01 is overprovisioned. Add a value of 9.28 of %CSTP to the equation and that is definitely the case. In fact, with such a huge %CSTP I would guess that it is overprovisioned 8:1, meaning that it probably has a 8vcpus. Both scenarios 1 and 2 have a total of 14 vCPUs. However, due to the fact of %CSTP of being 9.28 I'd probably go with scenario 01 and say 8 vCPUs instead of 4vCPUs.
