b: VMs
d: VM Templates

... i would say e. VM Folders (and Tags) are also a valid option for an Exclusion, but this is in the VMs section​​​​.

And this week’s 2nd question answer is….

Show content

This is a ‘static’ question. Options listed either are or are not viable selections. Based on the User Guide, or if you were to look at your Backup Jobs, you would see which options you have for Job exclusions. The acceptable options for this question are b. VMs and d. VM Templates. VM Disks is an option is well, but this choice isn’t listed.

For more info, see the following URL:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/backup_job_excludes_vm.html?ver=120

Bonus question → where is the option to exclude Folders located? (not VM folders, but guest folders..there is no such option to exclude VM folders).

There is multiple answers to my bonus question. Davide, yes!...that is one of them; another area where you can exclude Folders is in Malware Detection for the FSA scan engine. Good job! 👍🏻
