A. B. C. D. E.

C.

Type 1 hypervisors are bare-metal hypervisors that run directly on the host computer's hardware. Virtual machines (VMs) running on Type 1 hypervisors require IP and MAC addresses to communicate on the network.

A. The statement "Virtual machines do not require a unique IP or unique MAC" is incorrect. Each VM requires a unique IP and MAC address to be able to communicate on the network.

B. The statement "They share the IP and MAC address of the physical server" is also incorrect. Each VM has its own IP and MAC address that is separate from the physical server's IP and MAC addresses.

C. The statement "Each virtual machine requires a unique IP address but shares the MAC address with the physical server" is incorrect. Each VM requires a unique MAC address as well as a unique IP address.

D. The statement "Each virtual machine requires a unique IP and MAC addresses to be able to reach to other nodes" is the correct answer. Each VM requires a unique IP and MAC address to communicate on the network and reach other nodes.

E. The statement "Each virtual machine requires a unique MAC address but shares the IP address with the physical server" is incorrect. Each VM requires a unique IP and MAC address to communicate on the network.

In summary, each virtual machine running on Type 1 hypervisors requires a unique IP and MAC address to communicate on the network and reach other nodes.
