Which recommendation should the architect make to meet requirements while minimizing project costs?

An architect is preparing a design for a company planning digital transformation. During the requirements gathering workshop, the following requirements (REQ) and constraints (CON) are identified:

✑ REQ01 The platform must host different types of workloads including applications that must be compliant with internal security standard.

✑ REQ02 The infrastructure must initially run 100 virtual machines.

✑ REQ03 Ten of the virtual machines must be compliant with internal security standard.

✑ REQ04 The internal security standard specifies logical network separation for in-scope applications.

✑ CON01 The customer has already purchased the licenses as part of another

project.

✑ CON02 The customer has five physical servers that must be reused.

Additionally, based on resource requirements, four physical servers will be enough to run all workloads .

Which recommendation should the architect make to meet requirements while minimizing project costs?
A . Use Network I/O Control to ensure the internal security zone has higher share value
B . Purchase additional servers and plan separate, isolated clusters for workloads that must be compliant with internal security
C . Use a single cluster and ensure that different security zones are separated at least with dedicated VLANs and firewall
D . Use a single cluster and configure DRS anti-affinity rules to ensure internal security compliant virtual machines cannot migrate between ESXi hosts.
