CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 140

Which of the following network options would work BEST to ensure a client-side virtual machine cannot access the rest of the network?

Answer options

• A. NAT mode
• B. Bridge mode
• C. Direct mode
• D. Host-only mode

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Host-only mode creates a private network between the host and the virtual machine, completely isolating the virtual machine from the external network. In contrast, NAT mode allows for some network access, Bridge mode connects the VM to the network directly, and Direct mode also permits network connectivity, which does not meet the requirement of isolation.
