Explanation

A client-side (Type 2) hypervisor such as VMware Workstation or VirtualBox runs on a user's desktop or laptop and allows multiple virtual machines to run simultaneously. This is ideal for developers who need to test software across various OS versions, configurations, or environments without maintaining separate physical machines. Running out of data center resources (B) is a use case for server-side (Type 1) virtualization. Sharing one computer among multiple users (C) describes terminal services or thin-client solutions, not a client hypervisor. Providing backup during internet outages (D) is a business continuity concern addressed by local servers or offline apps, not a hypervisor.
