   An ESXi host in a VCF workload domain is experiencing performance issues. vCenter Server shows high CPU ready time for VMs on the host, but the host's CPU utilization is only 60%. The vmkernel log shows no errors. What is the most likely cause of the high CPU ready time?

   • AThe host's memory is exhausted, causing the VMs to swap to disk.
   • BThe host's network is congested, causing the VMs to wait for network packets.
   • CThe storage array is slow, causing the VMs to wait for I/O.
   • DThe host is overcommitted, and the VMs are competing for CPU resources.
