Why each option

Bridged networking connects a VM's virtual NIC directly to the host's physical NIC, placing the VM on the same network segment as the hypervisor.

ANAT networking

NAT networking places the VM behind the hypervisor host's IP using address translation, so the VM resides on a private subnet isolated from the physical network.

BBridged networkingCorrect

In bridged networking mode, the hypervisor acts as a virtual switch that bridges the VM's virtual network adapter to the physical NIC of the host machine. The VM is exposed directly to the external network, can obtain an IP address from the same DHCP server as the hypervisor, and is reachable by other devices on the same LAN as an independent host.

CHybrid networking

Hybrid networking is not a defined standard networking mode in common Type 2 hypervisor products such as VMware Workstation or VirtualBox.

DVirtual networking

Virtual (host-only) networking creates an internal-only network between VMs and the host that is isolated from the external physical network.
