Scott is wrong, please check max number vms per host in config maximus. Net Rock is right – 6 hosts needed.
If you refer to VMware Config Maximum, every host in a vSAN cluster supports up to 200 VMs.
If we run the cluster with 5 hosts, it will accommodate 900 VMs but if a host goes down then remaining 4 hosts can support up to 800 VMs. For this reason the correct answer would be 6 hosts and D!

A single ESXi host can accommodate 1024 VMs. With FTT=1, you only need 3 hosts.
The vSphere VM limit is 1024 but vSAN VM limit is 200 per Host.
