Why each option
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is the technology employed by content creators and distributors to impose limitations on the usage of digital content and devices to protect intellectual property.
A hypervisor is virtualization software that creates and runs virtual machines, completely unrelated to managing digital content usage limitations.
Grid computing involves distributing computational tasks across a network of computers to solve a larger problem, which is not related to imposing limitations on digital content usage.
Code signing uses digital signatures to verify the authenticity and integrity of software code and executables, not to impose usage limitations on digital content.
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is specifically designed and utilized by content creators and publishers to enforce copyright, control access, and limit the usage of digital media, software, and devices. DRM technologies embed restrictions that dictate how users can interact with the content, such as preventing unauthorized copying or limiting the number of plays.
