Options
- Aa proprietary hypervisor.

Explanation
Open source hypervisors prevent vendor lock-in because they are not controlled by a single commercial vendor, allowing workload portability across hardware and providers.
Common mistakes.
- A. A proprietary hypervisor is controlled exclusively by one vendor, which is the definition of vendor lock-in - customers become dependent on that vendor's roadmap, pricing, and compatibility decisions.
- B. An integrated hypervisor is typically embedded within a vendor's hardware or platform stack, deepening dependency on that specific vendor's ecosystem rather than reducing it.
- D. A 'framework hypervisor' is not a recognized standard industry classification and does not describe any known hypervisor category associated with portability or open standards.
