The customer has two sites that must operate independently of each other in the event of a WAN failure. During normal operations, administrators from each site must be able to manage the other site through the vSphere Web Client.
Which vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) and Platform Services Controller (PSC) diagram shows the VMware-recommended design that satisfies these requirements?
A.
B.
C.
D.
This details the exam to be based on 6.5u1 so D would be correct:

I think it is C. VMware recommends migrating to internal PSC due to 6.7 forward not supporting external PSC.

But, does the test take that into account??!!?
Practically, you are correct. For this exam though, it is based on 6.5 GA. The converge process to transition to embedded PSC’s wasn’t introduced until 6.5 U2g.
I agree with David but I wonder how old this picture is and if it was copied from a previous version of the exam/vsphere. In that case, embedded link mode would not be possible.
Going with D on this one.
A) Site B would lose access to the PSC if the WAN fails
B) Site B would lose access to the PSC if the WAN fails
C) Possible with Embedded linked mode (starting from 6.5 U2)
D) Possible with Enhanced linked mode (and I take it’s a graphical inaccuracy that the arrow is not linking the 2 PSCs)
So I think that the best answer would be C, but if exam doesn’t consider U2 then D is the correct answer
D
