D & E are correct

ESA is an optional alternative to the current vSAN original storage architecture and will be available to run on qualified hardware ESA-approved vSAN ReadyNodes. The vSAN Express Storage Architecture can be incorporated into existing environments to make the transition simple and more transparent. Implementing vSAN ESA requires approved hardware and vSAN Advanced or Enterprise license. https://www.storagereview.com/news/vmware-vsan-8-express-storage-architecture-announced
