Which statement is true regarding this upgrade?
An ESXi 7.0 host will not recognize a VMFS3 datastore. With the upgrade to ESXi 7.0, VMFS3 is no longer supported. This means that any VMFS3 datastores present in the environment will not be recognized by the upgraded hosts. VMFS5 datastores, on the other hand, are still supported, and while they cannot be upgraded to VMFS6 directly, they remain usable under ESXi 7.0.
"VMFS5 Datastores You cannot upgrade a VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6. If you have a VMFS5 datastore in your environment, create a VMFS6 datastore and migrate virtual machines from the VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6." https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-DAD74662-E09E-44A4-82F1-DB7A3433CEF9.html
Answer: C
why VMFS 3 can use in Version 7?
cannot upgrade a VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6
Given answer is correct. You cannot upgrade a VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6. If you have a VMFS5 datastore in your environment, create a VMFS6 datastore and migrate virtual machines from the VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6. ESXi no longer supports VMFS3 datastores. The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores.
