CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 328

An enterprise recently upgraded the memory of its on-premises VMs from 8GB to 16GB. However, users are not experiencing any performance benefit. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason?

Answer options

• A. Insufficient memory on the hypervisor
• B. Operating system memory limit
• C. Memory mismatch error
• D. Dynamic memory allocation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the operating system may have a limit on the amount of memory it can utilize, preventing any performance gains from the additional RAM. The other options, such as insufficient hypervisor memory or dynamic memory allocation, do not directly restrict the OS's ability to use the upgraded memory.
