Which of the following is an advantage of a scaled-out architecture?

The correct answer is C. Smaller hosts translate to less time needed to recover using HA. In a scaled-out architecture, the cluster is configured with many smaller hosts rather than fewer large hosts. Because of this, when an ESXi host crashes in a scaled-out cluster, you lose a smaller percentage of your cluster, which translates to fewer virtual machines crashing…

Explanation

In a scaled-out architecture, the cluster is configured with many smaller hosts rather than fewer large hosts. Because of this, when an ESXi host crashes in a scaled-out cluster, you lose a smaller percentage of your cluster, which translates to fewer virtual machines crashing, which translates to faster recovery times.
