Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 72

Which statement explains why Type 1 hypervisor is considered more efficient than Type2 hypervisor?

Answer options

• A. Type 1 hypervisor is the only type of hypervisor that supports hardware acceleration techniques.
• B. Type 1 hypervisor relies on the existing OS of the host machine to access CPU, memory, storage, and network resources.
• C. Type 1 hypervisor runs directly on the physical hardware of the host machine without relying on the underlying OS.
• D. Type 1 hypervisor enables other operating systems to run on it.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a Type 1 hypervisor runs on the physical hardware, which allows for better performance and efficiency. In contrast, option B is incorrect as it describes Type 2 hypervisors that depend on a host OS, while options A and D do not directly address the efficiency aspect relative to the comparison.
