Which scenario explains this behavior?
During an AHV upgrade, if a critical VM was powered off rather than migrating to another host, it is likely because the VM was marked as an agent VM. Agent VMs are designated to not migrate to other hosts in the cluster. Instead, they are powered off when their host is shut down or put into maintenance mode and then powered on again once the host is operational or exits maintenance mode. This behavior is intentional to ensure specific configurations tied to the host are maintained.
Answer is correct: https://nutablogwithpaul.wordpress.com/2020/07/17/agent-vm-on-nutanix/ "Agent VMs are never migrated to any other host in the cluster. If an HA event occurs or the host is put in maintenance mode, agent VMs are powered off and are powered on on the same host once that host comes back to a normal state."
Answer is correct, D. Agent VMs dont switch hosts because it's set to a specific host

D is correct https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=AHV-Admin-Guide-v6_5:wc-node-maintenance-ahv-wc.html
VMs with GPU, CPU passthrough, PCI passthrough, and host affinity policies are not migrated to other hosts in the cluster. You can choose to shut down such VMs while putting the node into maintenance mode. D is the correct ANSWER Agent VMs are always shut down if you put a node in maintenance mode and are powered on again after exiting maintenance mode.
Final and correct answer : D Because Agent VM will power off at end of host shutdown/restart and power on at begning of Boot.
