Full virtualisation differs from paravirtualisation in that

  • A.the guest must be modified to cooperate
  • B.no hypervisor of any kind is required
  • C.only one guest may run at any time
  • D.the guest is unmodified and unaware

Answer: D

Correct answer: the guest is unmodified and unaware

Full virtualisation presents a complete virtual machine, so a stock operating system runs on it without knowing it is virtualised - sensitive instructions are trapped and emulated. Paravirtualisation instead modifies the guest to call the hypervisor deliberately, which performs better but requires a guest that has been ported. Hardware extensions have narrowed the performance gap enough that full virtualisation now dominates.
