  1. The location of the virtual machine swap file affects vMotion compatibility as follows:

    For migrations between hosts running ESXi 5.5 and later, vMotion and migrations of suspended and powered-off virtual machines are allowed.

    During a migration with vMotion, if the swap file location on the destination host differs from the swap file location on the source host, the swap file is copied to the new location. This activity can result in slower migrations with vMotion. If the destination host cannot access the specified swap file location, it stores the swap file with the virtual machine configuration file.

  2. A is correct, see the link below,
