A. B. C. D.C.
http://virtualbrigade.com/n-vds/When a KVM hypervisor is configured as a transport node in VMware NSX-T Data Center, a kernel module called "openvswitch" implements the NSX-T N-VDS (NSX-T Virtual Distributed Switch) functionality.
OpenvSwitch is a virtual switch that is used to connect virtual machines (VMs) to virtual networks in KVM-based hypervisors. It is a high-performance, multi-layer switch that provides L2 and L3 functionality for VMs and is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Linux bridge in KVM environments.
NSX-T leverages the openvswitch kernel module to provide distributed switching and routing services for VMs in KVM-based hypervisors. The NSX-T N-VDS is created on the KVM hypervisor as a distributed virtual switch that provides advanced networking and security services to VMs.
In summary, the correct answer to the question is C. openvswitch.
