Which of the following is a limitation of virtualization that should be considered when implementing a server in a virtual environment?
The correct answer is C. Physical license keys. When implementing servers in a virtual environment, a significant limitation to consider is the use of physical license keys, which may not be compatible with virtual hardware abstraction.

Why each option
When implementing servers in a virtual environment, a significant limitation to consider is the use of physical license keys, which may not be compatible with virtual hardware abstraction.
Virtualization generally *enhances* disaster recovery capabilities through features like snapshots, replication, and live migration, making it a benefit, not a limitation.
Virtualization typically allows for various boot loader choices within the guest operating system, similar to a physical machine, and does not inherently impose a limitation on boot loader selection.
Virtual machines abstract the underlying physical hardware, meaning that license keys tied to specific physical components (e.g., MAC addresses, CPU IDs, or USB dongles) often do not transfer or function correctly within a virtualized environment. This requires careful consideration of licensing models when planning virtualization.
Virtualization platforms often provide robust high availability features, such as automated VM restarts and live migration between hosts, which are benefits rather than limitations.
