Which of the following scenarios would benefit from client-side virtualization?
The correct answer is C. Supporting a legacy application. Client-side virtualization allows an older or incompatible operating system environment to run on modern hardware, making it the best solution for running legacy applications that won't run on the current OS.

Why each option
Client-side virtualization allows an older or incompatible operating system environment to run on modern hardware, making it the best solution for running legacy applications that won't run on the current OS.
Virtualization introduces a hypervisor overhead layer that degrades 3D graphics performance; a dedicated GPU with direct hardware access is required for optimal gaming.
NTFS permissions are a feature of the Windows file system and are independent of whether virtualization is in use.
Client-side virtualization (e.g., VMware Workstation, VirtualBox, Hyper-V on a workstation) lets a user run a virtual machine with a legacy OS (such as Windows XP) alongside the current OS. This isolates the legacy application in a compatible environment without requiring dedicated old hardware or affecting the host system.
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is a server-side infrastructure role for distributing updates across a network and is unrelated to client-side virtualization.
