Which statement best describes a type 2 hypervisor?

A type 2 hypervisor, also known as a hosted hypervisor, runs as an application on top of an existing operating system (OS). This architecture makes it ideal for client/end-user systems because it can be easily installed and used on a standard desktop or laptop without dedicated hardware. Examples include VMware Workstation, Oracle VirtualBox, and Microsoft Virtual PC. "Complicated deployment" is incorrect because type 2 hypervisors are generally easy to install and manage. "Ideal for data center" is incorrect; type 1 hypervisors (bare-metal) are preferred for data centers due to their direct access to hardware, better performance, and enhanced security. "Referred to as bare-metal" is incorrect; this term describes type 1 hypervisors, which run directly on the hardware without an underlying OS.
