Explanation

Windows Virtual PC is a Microsoft virtualization feature built into Windows 7 (Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate) specifically designed for application compatibility. It allows users to run a virtual Windows XP environment-called 'Windows XP Mode'-so that legacy applications that are incompatible with Windows 7 can still function. It is not designed to share printers over the Internet (B), run OSes on tablets (C), or enable 64-bit applications in virtual mode (D), which is not a meaningful use case since Windows 7 itself supports 64-bit applications natively.
