Here are the issues and corresponding solutions.
How to enable Mac OS X Guests on VMWare Workstation 11?
By default, VMWare Workstation 11 does not support Mac OS X. If you are using VMWare Workstation 11, you need to download and install Unlocker 2.

Right-click the virtual machine and open settings. Select CD/DVD and load darwin.iso, which has been copied to your VMWare Workstation when running Unlocker.
Restart operating system. Now you can see the VMWare Tools:
