I am having a VMware Workstation 15 setup.
Following Custom vmnet8 is what I think I have assigned to virtual machine.
vmnet0 I am not using (as per my understanding) but screenshot for information
vmnet8 is where I expect all connections are going as this I am using for NAT
apipa IP in virtual machine
Ethernet adapter Ethernet0:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : ffff::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff%12
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.174.62
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
What is the mistake in this configuration.
The Host OS has network connectivity.
update1
as per the suggestion in comment I enabled DHCP service in vmnet and connected virtual network adaptor 8 to settings
see this screenshot. So APIPA Ip problem is solved 
Now I want to give internet connectivity to Virtual machine that is not happening with above steps. What is the mistake here?

There are 2 Wifi Cards on this system

from the guest OS I can ping to 8.8.8.8
see the screenshot
nslookup to www.vmware.com fails
This is VMware Workstation 15 Pro
15.1.0 build-13591040
From the host OS I can do not get a ping reply from virtual machine
I do a ping from my host OS to virtual machine (which is running on my laptop)
C:\WINDOWS\system32>ping 192.168.152.128

but if I do a ping from my Guest OS to host OS I get a reply.

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 1ms
192.168.1.14 is my host OS (IP is given by ADSL router)
192.168.152.128 is IP of my virtual machine this IP is given by VMware DHCP service in vmnet8 in virtual network editor.
Best Answer
based on a suggestion here
it turned out that during a NAT on vmnet8 on home ADSL broadband routers we need to give DNS IP manually so here is a screenshot of how my virtual network editor used to look previously
now based on suggestion I put up my ADSL router IP 192.168.1.1 as DNS IP as in below screenshot
nslookup still failed that screenshot after this reset etc can be seen here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZO2VioostBNYulgn6BT4aqf0C4lQ6yp0/view
after this setting of DNS when I did nslookup from virtual machine I got an error that reply not found or query could not be answered
however at the time of writing this answer I did nslookup in virtual machine as follows
internet connectivity was there in virtual machine.
as an extra information I am also giving the Network Adapter setting of VMware Workstation
now if you see the output of ipconfig on virtual machine it is as below
now see the vmnet8 IP in below screenshot
vmnet8 ip range is in 192.168.136.x range and IP of my virtual machine which VMware DHCP gave is 192.168.136.133 so obviously virtual machine got IP from vmnet8. So if you are using VMware behind an ADSL router in broadband setup then putting IP of your ADSL router in DNS settings i.e. virtual network editor-->Vmnet8--->NAT--->DNS Settings is where you should put it. I mentioned all this so that if some else gets here in future this should help him.
Also I want to mention that during debugging of all this things had messed up so badly that before proceeding with steps in this answer I had restored defaults from VMware network adapter settings and after that I had applied all the changes as mentioned in screenshot.
Here is a screenshot of ADSL router DNS settings page which is installed and I get internet access from this one, the model is Dlink Product Page: DSL-2750U screenshot of router accessible at 192.168.1.1 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1818cN4eYpT0rr9wu7R0T-pthRxmV1MlV/view
