When installing Hyper-V, which of the following is a hardware requirement?

Options

B32GB of RAM
C1TB of storage space
DMulti-display video card

Explanation

Hyper-V, Microsoft's hypervisor-based virtualization platform, requires a 64-bit (x64) processor as a fundamental hardware prerequisite. Specifically, it requires a processor that supports hardware-assisted virtualization (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) and hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention (DEP). A 32-bit processor cannot run Hyper-V under any circumstances. The other options are incorrect requirements: 32GB of RAM (option B) is not a minimum requirement - Hyper-V can run with as little as 4GB of RAM, though more is recommended for running multiple VMs; 1TB of storage (option C) is not a requirement - storage needs depend on the VMs being hosted; a multi-display video card (option D) is not required - Hyper-V server roles often run headlessly or with a single basic display adapter.
