Why each option
A Type 2 hypervisor requires a host operating system to function and cannot directly access the host's hardware and resources, instead relying on the host OS for resource management.
Native hypervisors are synonymous with bare-metal and Type 1 hypervisors, which run directly on the host hardware without requiring a host OS.
Bare metal hypervisors are synonymous with native and Type 1 hypervisors, which run directly on the host hardware, allowing them direct access to resources.
Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the host hardware, allowing them direct and efficient access to resources and eliminating the need for a separate host operating system.
Type 2 hypervisors, also known as hosted hypervisors, are software applications installed on a host operating system. They interact with the hardware and resources through the host OS, meaning they do not have direct access to the underlying hardware.
