• B. The hypervisor can virtualize physical components including CPU, memory, and storage
• C. Each hypervisor can support a single virtual machine and a single software switch
• D. The hypervisor communicates on Layer 3 without the need for additional resources

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, accurately highlights the hypervisor's ability to virtualize essential physical components such as CPU, memory, and storage for virtual machines.
