The correct answer is A. Assign 1 virtual CPU to the Guest. To create a new guest VM requiring a single CPU on a virtualized host with a quad-core CPU, the administrator should assign one virtual CPU (vCPU) to the guest.
Question
An administrator is responsible for managing a host that is part of a private cloud. The host has one physical quad core CPU. The administrator is tasked with creating a new guest that requires a single CPU. Which of the following actions should the administrator do?
Options
- AAssign 1 virtual CPU to the Guest
- BAssign 1 virtual CPU to the Host
- CAssign 1 physical CPU to the Guest
- DAssign 1 physical CPU to the Host

Why each option
To create a new guest VM requiring a single CPU on a virtualized host with a quad-core CPU, the administrator should assign one virtual CPU (vCPU) to the guest.
Virtual machines are assigned virtual CPUs (vCPUs) by the hypervisor, which then maps these vCPUs to the physical CPU cores of the host, allowing multiple guests to share the physical CPU resources.
The host has physical CPUs and does not get assigned virtual CPUs; virtual CPUs are for guest virtual machines.
Guests are assigned virtual CPUs, not physical CPUs directly, as physical CPUs are resources managed by the hypervisor and shared among guests.
The host already possesses physical CPUs; there is no action to 'assign 1 physical CPU to the Host' as it already has one quad-core physical CPU.
