CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 544

A VM was set up to deny access to the host computer and any network resources. Which of the following describes this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Sandbox
• B. Cross-platform virtualization
• C. Legacy application
• D. Hypervisor

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A 'Sandbox' is a security mechanism that creates a controlled environment for software to run, limiting its access to the host and network resources. The other options do not specifically pertain to the concept of restricting access; for instance, 'Cross-platform virtualization' refers to running different operating systems, while 'Legacy application' pertains to outdated software, and 'Hypervisor' is the technology that enables virtualization.
