Answer: C

Explanation:

vSphere Replication 6.5 is supported on previous ESXi versions (such as 6.0). Only constraint is vCenter is running 6.5 as well (which can be assumed as it is not mentioned). vSphere Replication 6.5 release notes announce the 5 minute RPO (improved from 15 minutes previously) and specifically calls out the limitation of ESXi 6.0 only being supported for vSAN.
