B. Use the VMware vSphere client to export the application as an image in Open Virtualization Format (OVF) format. Create an Amazon S3 bucket to store the image in the destination AWS Region. Create and apply an IAM role for VM Import. Use the AWS CLI to run the EC2 import command.
A = SMB share cannot host VMware datastore. Also, installing agent modify configuration settings B = correct C = not clear how the backup copy is created and what format is used to allow then creating an AMI from it D = hybrid activation allows SSM to manage on-premise / other cloud VM but doesn't enable AWS Backup. This instead requires a backup gateway to backup VMware environment https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/backup-and-restore-on-premises-vmware-virtual-machines-using-aws-backup/
The only thing that is missing from the B answer is that the OVF file has to be transformed to a OVA file : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmimport-image-import.html.
