Explanation:
Option C is the correct answer. The Migration Evaluator agentless collector can be deployed directly to the ESXi hypervisor without the need to install agents on each VM. This reduces operational overhead significantly compared to other options. After collecting the data, it can be reviewed to identify and remove inactive servers, thereby optimizing the migration plan. The refined data can then be imported into AWS Migration Hub for further processing.
