Selected Answer: D

The service discovery agentless connector can oly work with VMware, you still need the agent for the physicall server. "AWS Application Discovery Service supports agent-based and agentless modes of operation. With the agentless discovery, VMware customers collect VM configuration and performance profiles without deploying the AWS Application Discovery Agent on each host, which accelerates data collection. Customers in a non-VMware environment or that need additional information, like network dependencies and information about running processes, may install the Application Discovery Agent on servers and virtual machines (VMs) to collect data" (taken from the Application Discovery FAQ)

Needs to use the agent, the collector cannot view traffic between servers to determine dependencies. You need the agent to analyse details of the network connections between systems. The agentless connector (for VMWARE) is mainly for resource metrics (OS, number of CPUs, amount of RAM)
