VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 85

Which virtual disk option allows a virtual machine to consume the minimum storage capacity?

Answer options

• A. Independent persistent
• B. Lazy-zeroed thick-provisioned
• C. Eager-zeroed thick-provisioned
• D. Thin-provisioned

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Thin-provisioned, as it allows the virtual machine to allocate storage on an as-needed basis, minimizing overall storage use. The other options, such as Eager-zeroed and Lazy-zeroed thick-provisioned, allocate a fixed amount of storage upfront, leading to higher consumption regardless of actual usage.
