There is no option in the VM BIOS.<br />
<br />
think physical what does the error message mean on a physical box, if you had installed ESXi 5.0.<br />
<br />
Yes check Intel VT is enabled in BIOS, but your virtual installation does not know this is a virtual environment.<br />
<br />
So, the other option is Intel VT not available to this Guest, quite normal in a nested environment.<br />
<br />
Check the Virtualisation settings in the VM Settings, and change from Automatic.

vmware virtual platform

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
