CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 40

Which of the following describes the installation of an OS contained entirely within another OS installation?

Answer options

• A. Host
• B. Bridge
• C. Hypervisor
• D. Guest

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a Guest OS runs on top of a Host OS and is entirely contained within it. The Host OS is the primary operating system, while the Hypervisor manages the guest operating systems; therefore, options A and C are not correct in this context. Option B, Bridge, does not relate to this scenario at all.
