Answer: A

Explanation:

A valid management network CIDR based on the requirements of a minimum of 30 hosts in a VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC is 10.4.0.0/23. This CIDR provides a total of 510 usable IP addresses (2^(32-23) – 2), which is sufficient to accommodate the required 30 hosts along with other management components, like NSX Edge appliances, vCenter Server, and NSX Manager.
