Answer 1

You can boot Kali Linux from a USB as a 'Live' system without installing it and without needing processor virtualization. Your previous operating system and files will remain untouched after you remove the USB pen drive.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to boot Kali Linux from a USB drive without installing it on your device, it will indeed work regardless of whether your processor supports virtualization or not. This mode of operation is typically known as running a 'Live' system.

When you run an operating system in Live mode, it does not require a virtual machine or virtualization capabilities from the processor - it simply runs off the USB drive and utilizes the computer's hardware directly. As long as your computer can boot from USB, you should be able to use Kali Linux in this way.

Moreover, when you remove the live USB pen drive and reboot your device, your previous operating system should load normally, with all your files and settings intact, provided you have not made any changes to the system's installed drives or partitions.

Therefore, the correct answer is: A) Yes, it will work without virtualization, and your files will be intact.
