In a vSphere High Availability (vSphere HA) cluster, which action does vSphere HA take when the VM Monitoring service does NOT receive heartbeats from a virtual machine (VM) in the cluster?
A.
The VM is restarted on a different host in the cluster.
B.
The VM is suspended on the same host in the cluster.
C.
The VM is migrated to a different host in the cluster.
D.
The VM is restarted on the same host in the cluster.
As per this article, it will simply restart the VM and doesn't mention about moving the VM to a different host.

vSphere High Availability is a utility that pools the ESXi hosts and virtual machines into a cluster for monitoring and automatically restart failed virtual machines on alternative host to reduce application downtime and ensure business continuity.

Using datastore heartbeating, the primary host determines whether a host has failed or a network isolation has occurred. If datastore heartbeating from the host stops, the host is considered failed. In this case, the failed host’s VMs are started on another host in the vSphere HA cluster.
Answer: D
After failures are detected, vSphere HA resets virtual machines. The reset ensures that services remain available. To avoid resetting virtual machines repeatedly for nontransient errors, by default, virtual machines will be reset only three times during a certain configurable time interval. After virtual machines have been reset three times, vSphere HA makes no further attempts to reset the virtual machines after subsequent failures until after the specified time has elapsed. You can configure the number of resets using the Maximum per-VM resets custom setting.
As you can see, it says that it will be restarted, not migrated or anything like that, hence the answer is: D.
