Answers
E.
Create the required disk groups for the newly added host.
Suggested answer: D, E

Explanation:

To add an ESXi host with no disks to an existing vSAN cluster, the vSAN administrator needs to take the following steps:

Create a vSAN VMKernel interface on the new host, the interface should be configured with the same network settings as the existing vSAN cluster.

Create the required disk groups for the newly added host, the disk groups should contain at least one cache device and one or more capacity devices.

Add the new host to the vSAN cluster, this can be done through the vSphere Web Client.

Configure the storage policies and assign them to the virtual machines as needed.

It's worth noting that adding a host to an existing vSAN cluster does not require adding a minimum of three ESXi hosts or iSCSI shares, the host can be added without these requirements. Also, having physical NICs with equal network throughput is recommended but not a requirement.

This is explained in VMware vSAN documentation in the section "Adding a Host to a vSAN Cluster"
