Answer: A

Explanation:

When extending a network using VMware HCX Network Extension, the network segment type created in the VMware Cloud software-defined data center (SDDC) is an "Extended" network segment. An extended network segment allows for seamless Layer 2 network extension between the on-premises environment and the SDDC, enabling the workloads to retain their original IP addresses during migration. This type of network segment ensures that routing is handled at the source, fulfilling the cloud administrator’s requirement.
