Which type of storage entity is used as the backing disks for persistent volumes in vSphere with Tanzu?
vSphere with Tanzu uses the First Class Disk (FCD) type of virtual disks to back persistent volumes. FCD, also known as Improved Virtual Disk, is a named virtual disk not associated with a VM. FCDs are identified by UUID and can be managed independently of VMs.
Thick provisioned VMDK, Raw Device Mapping (RDM), and Virtual Volumes (vVOLs) are not used as the backing disks for persistent volumes in vSphere with Tanzu.

An administrator is tasked with adding additional capacity to the existing VI workload domain to prepare for a requested workload migration.
Which supported storage types would the administrator configure to complete the task?
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.5/vcf-getting-started/GUID-C68FD810-D270-43F2-AEBF-D522BA1F402B.html#:~:text=For%20each%20VI%20workload%20domain,vSphere%20maximum%20of%2064%20hosts. You create VI workload domains to run customer workloads. For each VI workload domain, you can choose the storage option - vSAN, NFS, vVols, or VMFS on FC.
VMware Cloud Foundation supports several storage types as principal and supplemental storage for VI workload domains. Principal storage is the initial shared storage type that is selected during the creation of a workload domain or cluster in SDDC Manager. Supplemental storage is the additional shared storage type that can be added after a cluster has been created using the vSphere Client.
The supported principal storage types for VI workload domains are:
vSAN
NFS v3
vVols (FC, iSCSI, or NFS)
The supported supplemental storage types for VI workload domains are:
vSAN
NFS v3 or v4.1
vVols (FC, iSCSI, or NFS)
VMFS on FC
iSCSI
NVMeoF/TCP
Therefore, the only option that contains only supported storage types for VI workload domains is B. NFS v3, NFS v4.1, vSAN.

An administrator is tasked with deploying a new VI Workload Domain with VMFS on FC storage.
Which type of network pool must the hosts be associated with while adding them to VCF inventory?
To deploy a VI Workload Domain with VMFS on FC storage, the hosts must be associated with a network pool that contains the vMotion network information. This is because the vMotion network is required for adding a host to the SDDC Manager inventory and for migrating workloads between hosts.
A NFS only network pool, a network pool with vMotion and iSCSI, or an iSCSI only network pool are not valid options for deploying a VI Workload Domain with VMFS on FC storage. These network pools are used for different types of storage, such as NFS, vVols on iSCSI, or vSAN.
