CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 345

A developer wants to be able to run a virtual machine on a desktop for application testing. Which of the following should a technician implement to complete this request?

Answer options

• A. KVM
• B. Thin client
• C. Remote desktop
• D. Type 2 hypervisor

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Type 2 hypervisor, as it allows for the running of virtual machines directly on a host operating system, which is ideal for desktop environments. KVM (A) is a Type 1 hypervisor and is more suited for server environments, while Thin client (B) and Remote desktop (C) do not provide the capability to run virtual machines locally.
