https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/5.0/vcf-admin/GUID-D3C55AA8-D4B9-49D4-A26F-7A713A141251.html Verify that there are at least three hosts available in the SDDC Manager inventory. For information on commissioning hosts.

The minimum number of hosts required for a new vSAN cluster is three, according to the VMware Cloud Foundation documentation1. This is because a vSAN cluster needs at least three hosts that contribute capacity to the cluster to form a quorum and tolerate failures.However, for best results and availability, VMware recommends adding at least four hosts to the cluster2

On a tight budget, maybe just 2 hosts (Option D) would be more cost-effective?

I agree with User 2, having 4 hosts (Option A) would provide better resilience.

But wouldn't 4 hosts be better for redundancy and performance?

Oh come on, you guys can't be serious. Obviously the answer is C, 1 host. That way the customer saves the most money! What could go wrong with a single-host vSAN cluster, right? *laughs sarcastically*

Hmm, I'm not so sure. If the customer is really on a tight budget, maybe they'd be willing to sacrifice some redundancy and go with just 2 hosts. Probably not the recommended setup, but might work in a pinch.
