Correct answer: multiple VMs operate on the same underlying hardware, Each VM runs independently of any other VM in the same hypervisor.
Why this is the answer
Virtual machines (VMs) allow multiple operating systems and applications to run concurrently on a single physical server, sharing its underlying hardware resources. This is a core benefit of virtualization, enabling efficient resource utilization. Each VM operates as an isolated, independent entity with its own operating system, applications, and configurations. This independence means that a problem in one VM typically does not affect others on the same hypervisor. The VM's operating system is independent of the hypervisor; the hypervisor provides the virtualized hardware environment, not the OS itself. VMs are not automatically interconnected; network configurations are required. Resource sharing is managed by the hypervisor and can be allocated unequally based on configuration.
