Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it outlines the complete and proper steps to add a new vSAN license to both the SDDC Manager and vCenter Server, reassign it to the cluster, and remove the expired license. Options B and C involve unnecessary steps such as connecting via SSH and restarting services, which are not required for this process. Option D does not include reassigning the license in vCenter Server, which is a crucial step.
