To enable Fault Tolerance (FT) on a 4 vCPU virtual machine, two requirements must be met:

  1. vSphere Enterprise Plus license: FT is a feature available only in the vSphere Enterprise Plus edition. Therefore, it is required to have an Enterprise Plus license to enable FT.

  2. 1 GbE uplink for FT logging network: FT requires a dedicated network for logging purposes. This network is used to transmit data between the primary and secondary VMs in real-time, allowing the secondary VM to take over immediately if the primary VM fails. A 1 GbE uplink is sufficient for this purpose.

Option C, vSphere Standard license, is incorrect because FT is not available in the Standard edition. Option D, 10 GbE uplink for FT logging network, is incorrect because while a 10 GbE uplink can be used for FT logging, it is not a requirement for enabling FT on a 4 vCPU virtual machine.
