What is a result of deploying virtualization in your data center?

The correct answer is B. reduced operational costs. Virtualization reduces operational costs (B) by allowing multiple virtual machines to run on fewer physical servers, cutting expenses on power, cooling, hardware maintenance, and physical space. Security threats are not inherently reduced by virtualization - in fact, a compromise

Explanation

Virtualization reduces operational costs (B) by allowing multiple virtual machines to run on fewer physical servers, cutting expenses on power, cooling, hardware maintenance, and physical space. Security threats are not inherently reduced by virtualization - in fact, a compromised hypervisor can expose all VMs on that host, making (A) incorrect. Hardware capital costs typically decrease with virtualization since you consolidate workloads onto fewer machines, making (C) the opposite of reality. Host provisioning (D) is actually simplified and accelerated by virtualization, not increased as a burden.

Memory tip: Think "virtualization = consolidation = cost savings" - fewer physical machines means fewer dollars spent running and cooling your data center.
