Explanation

A sandbox is an isolated, tightly controlled virtual environment that intentionally restricts or completely blocks all network communication with other systems, the local network, and the internet. Sandboxes are used to safely execute untrusted code or analyze malware without risk of it communicating outbound or spreading. VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) provides remote virtual desktops but still has network access. A private cloud is an internal cloud infrastructure that still has network connectivity. A Type 1 (bare-metal) hypervisor runs directly on hardware and hosts VMs, but it does not inherently isolate them from the network.
