Which of the following virtual network settings should be used if the IP addresses of the host is to be shared with the virtual machine?
The correct answer is B. Bridged. Bridged networking connects the virtual machine directly through the host's physical adapter, placing it on the same network and IP address space as the host.

Why each option
Bridged networking connects the virtual machine directly through the host's physical adapter, placing it on the same network and IP address space as the host.
NAT mode assigns the VM a private IP on an isolated virtual subnet and translates outbound traffic through the host's IP - the VM does not share the host's IP address range.
In bridged mode, the virtual machine is connected directly through the host's physical network adapter to the external network, receiving an IP address from the same DHCP server and subnet as the host. This causes the VM to share the host's IP address space and appear as a distinct peer on the same physical network segment, rather than sitting behind a private virtual network.
Host-only networking creates an isolated private network between the host and VM only, with no connectivity to the host's external physical network.
Custom virtual network requires manual configuration and is not the standard built-in setting for placing a VM on the host's shared IP network.
