When would an administrator configure the Explicit Failover option for a portgroup created on a virtual switch with multiple uplinks?
A. To manually configure load balancing for the portgroup
B. To share uplinks between vSwitches
C. When configuring iSCSI Software Initiator multipathing
D. If the physical switch does not support etherchannel or 802.3ad
Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
So this is not true multipathing, only one link is used at a time. By elimination "To manually configure load balancing for the portgroup" seems to be the right answer. All other load balancing policies are automatic, this one is manual.

"When configuring iSCSI Software Initiator multipathing" was the original answer
