Answer: D

Explanation:

Check for activity on the VF (virtual function) with the ethtool -S eth0 | grep vf_ command. If you receive output similar to the following sample output, accelerated networking is enabled and working.

vf_rx_packets: 992956

vf_rx_bytes: 2749784180

vf_tx_packets: 2656684

vf_tx_bytes: 1099443970

vf_tx_dropped: 0

Accelerated Networking is now enabled for your VM.
