CompTIA Server+ (SK0-004) — Question 9

Which of the following allows virtual machines to share the NIC of the host?

Answer options

• A. Virtual LANs
• B. NAT
• C. Bridging
• D. Virtual NICs

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Bridging, as it connects virtual machines directly to the physical network through the host's NIC, allowing them to share it. Options A (Virtual LANs) and B (NAT) serve different purposes in network segmentation and address translation, respectively, while D (Virtual NICs) refers to the virtualized network interfaces themselves, not the sharing mechanism.
