Explanation

Virtual machines (VMs) are sandboxed environments that run independently of the host system. For cloud application development, VMs allow developers to test patches, updates, and new configurations without risking the stability of the production environment or the host machine. If something goes wrong inside the VM, it can simply be rolled back to a snapshot or deleted, leaving the host unaffected. The other options are incorrect: VMs can still be connected to networks and the Internet, and they do not reduce OS requirements - they still require a full OS installation.
