For a standard AHV cluster deployment, each node typically requires one IP for the hypervisor host, one for the Controller VM (CVM), and one for IPMI or management access. Nutanix cluster-creation and expansion documentation repeatedly references entering host, CVM, and IPMI addresses for each node. If the administrator also wants a cluster virtual IP, that adds one additional IP for the cluster VIP. This results in three IPs per node plus one VIP, which is option C. ( Nutanix )
The answer choices with four IPs per node overstate the standard requirement, while the two-VIP choices add an extra VIP not requested in the question. Nutanix documentation for cluster details also distinguishes the per-node addresses from the optional virtual IP used for cluster access. So the clean way to think about this is: per node = host + CVM + IPMI, plus one shared VIP for the cluster. That aligns exactly with C. ( Nutanix )
