CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 206

A developer downloaded and installed a new VM on a hypervisor to test a piece of software following the release of an OS patch. After installing the VM, the developer is unable to download updates from the vendor. Which of the following should the developer check?

Answer options

• A. The hypervisor's security configurations
• B. The organization's security policies
• C. The guest OS network settings
• D. The resource requirements

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the network settings of the guest OS must be properly configured to allow internet access for downloading updates. If the network settings are incorrect, the VM won't be able to connect to the vendor's servers. Options A and B are less relevant to the specific issue of downloading updates, and D pertains more to system performance rather than connectivity.
