Why each option
A virtual machine is an isolated virtualized computer environment, and the operating system running within it is commonly referred to as a Guest OS.
A Hypervisor is the software that creates and manages virtual machines, not a virtual machine itself.
A virtual machine encapsulates a complete virtualized computer system, and the operating system installed and running inside this virtualized environment is specifically called the Guest OS. This Guest OS believes it is running on physical hardware, but it is actually interacting with virtualized resources provided by the hypervisor.
Virtual Center is a management platform for virtualized environments, not a virtual machine.
A Host OS is the operating system on which a hosted hypervisor runs, or the operating system of the physical machine.
