A group of VMs is experiencing high latency on a portgroup in an ESXi host.
Which option can a vSphere administrator use to move some of the VMs to another portgroup?

vSphere vMotion is the correct option because it allows the administrator to move virtual machines between portgroups, hosts, or clusters without downtime. This feature is essential when addressing performance issues like high latency by redistributing the virtual machines to different portgroups on different NICs or hosts, ensuring balanced network load and improved performance.
The key wording on this question is "moving VMs to another Port Group" to address the network latency. so Vmotion to another host (presumably a fellow cluster member) with a corresponding standard switch and identically named Port Group will meet the requirement. IP hash would definitely address the network latency by taking full advantage of load balancing of multiple NICs configured as an EtherChannel but again , it mentions how to solve the problem by moving VMs to another port group.
In an environment with multiple virtual machines, load is spread across all active NICs for better performance. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2006129
No, Correct answer should be B (vSphere vMotion). it is asking " to move some of the VMs to another portgroup" How do you do that with IP hash? IP hash is used in a Nic teaming situation to loadbalance traffic using source/destination IP addresses.
The question is related to the move of the VM.
