   • BPlace the host in maintenance mode to migrate VMs, then investigate the memory pressure.
   • CImmediately reboot the host to clear the memory pressure.
   • DIgnore the alert since the VMs are non-critical and the cluster has capacity.

   An administrator sees an alert that a VM in the workload domain is showing 'CPU contention' and another alert that the ESXi host it runs on is showing 'CPU usage high'. The host is a 2-socket server with many other VMs. What is the most likely root cause?

   • AThe VM is configured with too many vCPUs, which is always the cause of contention.
   • BThe VM has a corrupted CPU driver that needs to be reinstalled.
   • CThe storage array is slow, causing CPU wait times.
   • DThe host is overcommitted on CPU, causing contention for the VM.

   • CCritical, because any VM alert requires immediate action
   • DWarning, because the VM is non-critical and the impact is limited
