Based on what you wrote in your comment, you wanted to know what operating system to tell VMware Workstation to consider Kali Linux 2.0.
Since Kali Linux is based on Debian Wheezy (Debian 7), you should tell VMware Workstation that you are installing Debian 7.

Can you choose Kali Linux if you continue? – h0ch5tr4355 – 2015-11-10T08:22:15.730
I choose linux from menu but kali linux is missing from submenu. – Beginner – 2015-11-10T08:26:32.103
Can you choose 64bits machines in general? Since you need VT-x for this, also look here: http://superuser.com/questions/156859/vmware-this-host-doesnt-support-vt-can-not-play-64bit-vm-due-to-lack-of-vt-fl

For your intended use, Kali Linux is practically Debian. Select Debian from the submenu.

You're welcome, @Beginner. You can accept my answer if it was what you were looking for. As a side note, I suggest that you edit your question to ask a question because as it currently stands, it is unclear what you were asking.
