C) Definitely the way to go. Gotta love that Storage vMotion!

Ah, this is a good one. I'm pretty confident that C is the right answer here. The key is that we need to do the Storage vMotion along with the regular vMotion to move the VM without any downtime, since the datastore isn't available in the new cluster. Nice question!

Option D seems like the easiest choice, but I don't want to just give up on moving the VM. I'm leaning towards C, the vMotion with Storage vMotion, since that seems to address all the requirements. I'll double-check the details, but I think that's the best approach.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if a regular vMotion will work since the datastore isn't available. Maybe option B, backing up and restoring, could be a solution, but that might cause some downtime. I'll have to think this through carefully.
