Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it outlines the appropriate method of using SSH to access the SDDC Manager VM and changing the password for the vcf user account via the command line. Options B and C describe GUI methods that do not apply to changing the super user password, while option D incorrectly suggests changing the password for the admin user instead of the super user.
