What are two roles of a hypervisor in a data center? (Choose two.)

A hypervisor configures and manages the physical network adapters (NICs) on the bare-metal server, including aspects like VLAN tagging, network teaming, and connecting virtual switches to these physical interfaces, which are essential for integrating virtual machines with the physical network devices like switches.

A hypervisor runs on a physical server; managing the server hardware itself (e.g., power, firmware) is typically handled by BMCs or server management software, not directly by the hypervisor.

A hypervisor's fundamental role is to abstract and virtualize the underlying physical hardware resources-CPU, memory, storage, and network interfaces-from a bare-metal server. It then allocates these virtualized resources to multiple isolated virtual machines, enabling them to run concurrently on a single physical host.

While a hypervisor does partition servers, choice C provides a more complete and accurate description of the virtualization process and resource allocation by also mentioning resource provisioning.

A hypervisor primarily virtualizes server hardware; virtualizing network devices (like routers or firewalls) is a function of network virtualization platforms, not the core role of a server hypervisor itself.
