Why each option
When a virtual machine can only connect to its local workstation and not to any external networks, the virtual network configuration is best described as Host-only networking.
Host-only networking establishes a network segment that connects the virtual machine only to the host computer and other virtual machines on the same host-only network, preventing any access to external networks.
Bridged networking connects the virtual machine directly to the physical network, allowing it to obtain an IP address from the network and access external resources, including the internet.
NAT (Network Address Translation) networking allows the virtual machine to access external networks (like the internet) through the host's network connection, acting as a gateway, and also communicates with the host.
Dual-homed refers to a system having multiple network interfaces, which is a network configuration rather than a specific virtual network mode that restricts connectivity only to the local workstation.
