The option is B. Before you shut down the node, shut down the Controller VM on that node. When you shut down the Controller VM, put the node in maintenance mode. https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=AHV-Admin-Guide-v5_19:ahv-node-shutdown-ahv-t.html

Sorry you overlook it. The link you have provided gives the sequence, where you log into CVM, note IP Host, put HOST into maintenance mode, then shut down CVM and then shut down HOST. Under procedure check for point 1 a. b. c. d. and 2. Answer is C

When you put host into maintenance mode, it automatically migrates VMs to other host, then shutdown CVM, then shutdown host.
