Nutanix Move documentation states that when the administrator changes the preparation mode for only a subset of VMs under Change Settings, and there is now a mix of preparation modes across the migration plan, the overall preparation mode automatically switches to Mixed. That is exactly the condition described in the question: 10 VMs in the migration plan, two manually changed, which creates more than one preparation mode across the plan. Therefore the correct answer is D. Mixed. ( Nutanix Portal )

This is an important Nutanix Move behavior because it affects how the migration plan is displayed and managed. The administrator does not get a brand-new custom label such as “Hybrid”; Nutanix specifically uses the term Mixed to indicate that some VMs are prepared one way and others another way. It also means the plan must be reviewed carefully so each VM’s preparation setting aligns with guest OS requirements and migration prerequisites. Since the official Move documentation names this exact automatic state change, the authentic answer is D rather than Manual or Automatic. ( Nutanix Portal )
