CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 29

An organization has some computers running macOS and some computers running Windows. The computers running macOS also need to run a piece of software that is only available on Windows. Which of the following BEST describes the solution for running Windows software on a computer running macOS?

Answer options

• A. Operating system spoofing
• B. Remote software provisioning
• C. Indirect software implementation
• D. Cross-platform virtualization

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Cross-platform virtualization, as it allows macOS systems to run Windows applications by creating a virtualized Windows environment. The other options do not effectively allow for the execution of Windows software on macOS, with spoofing and indirect implementation lacking the necessary infrastructure for running an entirely different OS.
