CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 172

Which of the following is designed for interaction to take place via an OS running on the host rather than the host directly?

Answer options

• A. Type 1 hypervisor
• B. Type 2 hypervisor
• C. Elasticity
• D. Multitenancy

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, the Type 2 hypervisor, as it relies on a host OS to manage virtual machines, allowing for user interaction through that OS. In contrast, Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the hardware without a host OS, and Elasticity and Multitenancy are concepts related to resource management and sharing, not types of hypervisors.
