Answer options
- A. True
- B. False
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is True because it accurately reflects the nature of virtual machines and containers. Virtual machines create a full abstraction, while containers share the host OS kernel, allowing for more efficient resource use but with less isolation.
