An administrator is configuring a new server to run a hypervisor installation from a PXE boot. Which of the following BEST describes the hypervisor being installed on this machine?

A Type I hypervisor, also known as a bare-metal hypervisor, runs directly on the server hardware, which is consistent with installing it via PXE boot on a new machine without an underlying operating system. It virtualizes the physical hardware and directly manages guest operating systems.

USB-based refers to the installation or boot medium, not the type of hypervisor itself; a hypervisor could be installed from USB but still be Type I or Type II.

Cloud-based hypervisors are part of a cloud service provider's infrastructure and are not something an administrator directly installs on a new server via PXE boot.

A Type II hypervisor, or hosted hypervisor, runs as an application on top of an existing operating system, which contradicts the scenario of installing it directly onto a new server via PXE boot.
