Correct answer: Oracle VirtualBox, Oracle Solaris Zones, Microsoft Virtual PC.
Why this is the answer
Type-2 hypervisors, also known as hosted hypervisors, run as an application on a host operating system. Oracle VirtualBox and Microsoft Virtual PC are classic examples of Type-2 hypervisors, as they are installed on top of an existing OS like Windows, macOS, or Linux. Oracle Solaris Zones, while often considered a containerization technology, functions similarly to a Type-2 hypervisor by creating isolated environments within a single Solaris instance, relying on the host OS kernel. VMware ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V are Type-1 hypervisors (bare-metal hypervisors) because they run directly on the hardware without an underlying host operating system.
