Which resource is able to be shared among virtual machines deployed on the same physical server?
The correct answer is A. disk. Virtual machines deployed on the same physical server are able to share underlying physical resources, such as disk storage, CPU, and memory, which are virtualized and allocated by the hypervisor. This resource sharing is a fundamental principle of server virtualization.

Why each option
Virtual machines deployed on the same physical server are able to share underlying physical resources, such as disk storage, CPU, and memory, which are virtualized and allocated by the hypervisor. This resource sharing is a fundamental principle of server virtualization.
Disk resources, whether local storage or shared storage (like SAN/NAS), are fundamental physical resources that are virtualized and allocated to multiple virtual machines running on the same host. The hypervisor manages the sharing and allocation of these physical disk resources.
Applications run within individual virtual machines and are not typically 'shared' across VMs in the sense of a single instance serving multiple, distinct VMs.
A VM configuration file is unique to each virtual machine and defines its specific settings, making it a distinct resource per VM rather than a shared one.
Each virtual machine typically runs its own independent operating system instance, making it a dedicated resource per VM, not a shared one.
