Which of the following describes the installation of an OS contained entirely within another OS installation?

A.

Host

B.

Bridge

C.

Hypervisor

D.

Guest.

C.

The term that best describes the installation of an operating system within another operating system is a "Guest".

A guest OS, also known as a virtual machine, is installed on top of a host OS and uses the host's hardware resources. This allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on a single physical machine.

The host OS manages access to hardware resources, such as CPU, memory, and storage, and provides services to the guest OS. The guest OS is isolated from the host OS and can run its own applications, access its own storage and network interfaces, and perform its own tasks.

Hypervisor is a layer of software that enables virtualization and manages multiple guest OSs. A bridge is a networking device that connects two or more networks together. Neither of these terms accurately describes the installation of an OS within another OS.
