Explanation

Client-side virtualization (also called desktop virtualization or local virtualization) refers to running a hypervisor (such as VMware Workstation, VirtualBox, or Hyper-V) directly on a user's local physical machine to create one or more virtual machines (VMs). Each VM is a complete software-based computer with its own virtual CPU, RAM, storage, and OS. Option A describes using a remote machine (like a thin client connecting to a server), which is server-side or remote virtualization. Option B is a fictional concept. Option D incorrectly describes the purpose - VMs are not primarily for 'building new machines' but for running isolated OS environments on existing hardware.
