Explanation

By default, most virtualization software uses NAT (Network Address Translation) networking, which means the VM shares the host machine's IP address and is not directly reachable by other devices on the LAN. Bridge networking changes this by connecting the VM's virtual network adapter directly to the physical network interface, giving the VM its own IP address on the same subnet as the LAN. Other users can then reach the VM's web application as if it were a separate physical machine. Application virtualization (B) packages apps for delivery but does not expose network services. A virtual desktop (C) provides a remote desktop experience, not network service exposure. A site-to-site VPN (D) connects two separate networks and is unnecessary when both the developer and users are already on the same LAN.
