Explanation

Desktop virtualization (VDI) centralizes data processing on servers rather than on endpoint devices, meaning patient data never actually resides locally on a workstation. This architectural approach improves data integrity by creating a single authoritative data store and dramatically reduces the effort required for privacy audits, since auditors examine one centralized environment rather than dozens or hundreds of individual endpoints. Option A is wrong because virtualization does not limit functionality - it replicates a full desktop. Option B describes network monitoring, which is a separate control. Option D is incorrect because 'unlimited functionalities' is not a security benefit and is vague.
