An administrator must choose between deploying a virtual witness or a physical witness for a vSAN Stretched Cluster. The administrator eventually decides to use a virtual witness.
What is a benefit of selecting this approach?

One of the benefits of using a virtual witness for a vSAN Stretched Cluster is the reduction in vSphere licensing costs. The virtual witness appliance includes an embedded vSAN license, whereas a physical witness server would require an additional vSAN license. This makes the virtual witness a more cost-effective approach.
Answer C is correct - see below: bullet 4 The role of the witness is to provide quorum between data sites. A vSAN stretched cluster witness: • Deployed at a third location • Deployed with the same build version as the rest of the ESXi hosts • Can be a physical server using an additional vSAN license • Can be a virtual witness appliance (OVA) which includes an embedded vSAN license (Recommended) • Only stores witness components and no data components • One witness per vSAN Stretched Cluster • Cannot run VMs and is not part of a vSAN or vSphere cluster
C is correct
