Question

A data center wants maximum performance and direct hardware access for its virtual machines without the overhead of a host operating system. Which type of hypervisor should be used, and why?

A Type 2 hypervisor, because it has no dependency on the host OS at all
B Either type 1 or 2 performs identically since hypervisor type doesn't affect performance
C Type 2 (hosted) hypervisor, because it runs on top of a host OS which optimizes hardware access
D Type 1 (bare-metal) hypervisor, because it runs directly on the physical hardware without a host OS layer
E Type 1 hypervisor, because it always requires a host OS like Windows or Linux to function
