Enable Quick Boot and set the VM power state to the suspend to memory option

The administrator should enable Quick Boot and set the VM power state to the suspend to memory option, which will allow the administrator to reduce the downtime associated with the patching operation without migrating the VMs. Quick Boot is a feature that skips the hardware initialization phase during host reboot, which reduces the system boot time. Suspend to memory is an option that preserves the state of the VMs in the host memory and restores them from memory after the reboot, which minimizes the VM downtime. These two features work together to optimize the remediation process and speed up the patching operation.

A.

One Supervisor will be created in a specific zone.

D.

Individual vSphere Namespaces will be placed into a specific zone.

When mapping vSphere zones to vSphere clusters, one Supervisor will be created in each zone, and individual vSphere Namespaces will be placed into a specific zone based on their resource requirements and availability constraints.

Enhance on-premises workloads by managing them through the VMware Cloud Console

E.

Simplify vCenter lifecycle management through cloud-enabled automation

B.

Add a new permission on the virtual machine object selecting the user and the new custom role.

D.

Create a new custom role with the Virtual Machine Snapshot Management privileges.

The administrator should create a new custom role with the Virtual Machine Snapshot Management privileges, which allows the user to create, delete and revert snapshots. The administrator should then add a new permission on the virtual machine object selecting the user and the new custom role, which grants the user the additional access required without affecting other users or groups.

Vendor add-ons

Explanation
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-lifecycle-manager/GUID-9A20C2DA-F45F-4C9B-9
A vSphere Lifecycle Manager image can consist of the following four elements:
ESXi base image
The base image contains an image of VMware ESXi Server and additional components, such as drivers and adapters that are necessary to boot a server. The base image is the only mandatory element in a vSphere Lifecycle Manager image. All other elements are optional.
Vendor add-on
The vendor add-on is a collection of software components that OEMs create and distribute. The vendor add-on can contain drivers, patches, and solutions.
Firmware and drivers add-on
The firmware and drivers add-on is a special type of vendor add-on designed to assist in the firmware update process. The firmware and drivers add-on contains firmware for a specific server type and corresponding drivers. To add a firmware and drivers add-on to your image, you must install the hardware support manager plug-in provided by the hardware vendor for the hosts in the respective cluster.
Independent components
The component is the smallest discrete unit in an image. The independent components that you add to an image contain third-party software, for example drivers or adapters.
