Explanation

Datacenter virtualization delivers two key benefits reflected in these answers. C - 'More efficient use of resources' - is the primary driver: physical servers typically run at 5–15% utilization without virtualization; consolidating many VMs onto fewer hosts dramatically improves CPU, memory, and storage utilization. D - 'Same hardware footprint for every machine' - means all physical host servers can be identical commodity hardware regardless of the workloads they run, because the hypervisor abstracts the hardware from the OS. This standardizes procurement and simplifies operations. Options A and B are incorrect: virtualization does not reduce backup data volume (you still back up all VM data), and VMs do not inherently require less CPU for the same application - they add a small overhead layer.
