What is the VMware recommended way to deploy a virtual NSX Edge Node?
The VMware recommended way to deploy a virtual NSX Edge Node is through the NSX UI. This is the preferred method as it integrates seamlessly with other NSX functionalities, ensuring proper deployment and management of the NSX Edge Node.
Install NSX Edge on an ESXi host using NSX Manager UI (recommended method), https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX/4.1/installation/GUID-E9A01C68-93E7-4140-B306-19CD6806199F.html
"A" is the correct answer
C is correct.. In the vSphere Client we may select the host on which to install NSX Edge node appliance >> Right-click and select Deploy OVF template to start the installation wizard https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.2/migration/GUID-7C6BB623-DEF6-420D-8E4E-18DA75C0EDD8.html
Do not deploy on bare metal. Do not deploy from the NSX Manager user interface. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.2/migration/GUID-7C6BB623-DEF6-420D-8E4E-18DA75C0EDD8.html
It's C. You can read it here. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.2/migration/GUID-7C6BB623-DEF6-420D-8E4E-18DA75C0EDD8.html Some guys are thinking answer a is correct and they are reffering to the following link: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX/4.1/installation/GUID-E9A01C68-93E7-4140-B306-19CD6806199F.html But the NSX manager is the recommended method for the nsx edge appliance only.
C: Do not deploy on bare metal. Do not deploy from the NSX Manager user interface.

"Install NSX Edge on an ESXi host using NSX Manager UI (recommended method), vSphere Web Client (from UI or vSphere command-line OVF tool) or as physical severs." https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.2/migration/GUID-7C6BB623-DEF6-420D-8E4E-18DA75C0EDD8.html
sorry, wrong link. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX/4.1/installation/GUID-E9A01C68-93E7-4140-B306-19CD6806199F.html
A. Through the NSX UI

Using vSphere client is not reconmended! This process does not register the NSX Edge node with the management plane. Additional command-line operations are required
