Answer 1

C. Type 1 Hypervisor installed directly on server hardware

Step-by-step explanation:

The Type 1 Hypersvisor, also known as native hypervisor or bare-metal hypervisor, executes directly into the server hardware. The hypervisor starts before than any other invited OS (operating system), and controls the direct access to the hardware. Some examples for this type are:

• Citrix XEN Server

• VMWare ESX-Server
