CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 6

A technician is setting up a VM for use in testing software deployments. The VM is offline, but the hypervisor is not.
Which of the following settings should the technician change to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Virtual security
• B. Virtual storage
• C. Virtual CPU
• D. Virtual switch
• E. Virtual RAM

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Virtual CPU, because adjusting the virtual CPU settings can enable the VM to process tasks more effectively, which may include establishing network connectivity. The other options, such as virtual security, storage, switch, and RAM, do not directly impact the VM's ability to connect to the network when the hypervisor itself is active.
