Which requirement would be classified as a business (formerly functional) requirement?

Answer options

• A. The architecture must support high availability (HA) and fault tolerance (FT).
• B. The architecture must support reducing existing energy consumption and carbon footprint.
• C. The architecture must support recoverability to the VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) service.
• D. The architecture must provide support for network virtualization using distributed virtual switches.
