Question 55
Correct Answer: A
A virtual machine cannot have more virtual CPUs than the number of logical cores on the physical host. In a scenario where only two virtual CPUs can be configured, it is most likely due to the selected ESXi host having only 2 logical cores available, either due to the actual physical core count or other configurations such as hyperthreading being deactivated.

I think it's A "A virtual machine cannot have more virtual CPUs than the number of logical cores on the host. The number of logical cores is equal to the number of physical cores if hyperthreading is deactivated or two times that number if hyperthreading is activated."
markey164Option: A
Answer = A. VMware official docs state quite clearly "A virtual machine cannot have more virtual CPUs than the number of logical cores on the host". In this scenario, only 2 virtual CPUs are available because only 2 logical cores exist on the host
EggrollsOption: C
Seems C for me. By default, the vSphere VM configuration imposes certain limits on the number of virtual CPUs that can be allocated to a virtual machine. In many cases, the default limit for the number of virtual CPUs is set to 2.

This is incorrect (plus i have never seen this). VMware official docs state quite clearly "A virtual machine cannot have more virtual CPUs than the number of logical cores on the host". Therefore in this scenario, only 2 virtual CPUs are available because only 2 logical cores exist on the host. So its A
