The use of which of the following technologies will NOT require the security dependency of an operating system, other than its own?

A management plane typically refers to the control interface for managing IT infrastructure, which itself often runs on or interacts with an operating system and other services, incurring their security dependencies.

A Type 1 hypervisor (bare-metal hypervisor) runs directly on the host hardware, controlling the hardware and managing guest virtual machines. It does not require a separate host operating system, meaning its security dependencies are confined to its own minimal operating system or kernel, rather than relying on the security of a full general-purpose OS.

A Type 2 hypervisor runs as an application on top of a conventional host operating system, making it dependent on the security of that underlying OS.

A virtual machine always requires an operating system (the guest OS) to function, in addition to the hypervisor and potentially a host OS, thus having multiple OS security dependencies.
