(P) Runs on host machine physical hardware
(Q) Hosted hypervisor
(R) Runs on the operating system of physical host machine
(S) Bare metal hypervisor
Which of the following is correct match?
- A. Type-1 Hypervisor (P) and (Q), Type-2 Hypervisor: (R) and (S)
- B. Type-1 Hypervisor (P) and (S), Type-2 Hypervisor: (Q) and (R)
- C. Type-1 Hypervisor (R) and (S), Type-2 Hypervisor: (P) and (Q)
- D. Type-1 Hypervisor (R) and (Q), Type-2 Hypervisor: (P) and (S)
Answer: B. Type-1 Hypervisor (P) and (S), Type-2 Hypervisor: (Q) and (R)
Explanation: A Type-1 hypervisor (Bare metal) runs directly on the host machine's physical hardware (P and S). A Type-2 hypervisor (Hosted) runs on top of a conventional operating system (Q and R).
