VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization (VCP-DCV) Practice Exam

The password that meets ESXi 6.x host password requirements must adhere to specific criteria to ensure security. In the case of ESXi 6.x, the requirements generally include a minimum length requirement (typically at least 8 characters), the inclusion of at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one numerical digit, and one special character.

The first option, "8kMVnn2x!", satisfies all these criteria. It contains:

- A minimum length of 10 characters.

- Uppercase letters: 'M' and 'K'.

- Lowercase letters: 'k', 'n', 'n'.

- Numerical digits: '8', '2'.

- A special character: '!'.

This comprehensive combination of characters enhances password complexity, which is crucial for protecting the ESXi host from unauthorized access.

Other choices may not meet one or more of these password requirements. For instance, those that lack a special character or do not have sufficient length would not be compliant with the ESXi password policy. As a result, the ability of option A to meet all the necessary conditions makes it the correct choice.
