Which statement correctly describes a Type 2 Hypervisor?

A Type 2 Hypervisor operates within a host operating system, which distinguishes it from Type 1 Hypervisors that run directly on the server hardware. This architecture allows Type 2 Hypervisors to leverage the resources and services of the underlying operating system to manage virtual machines. This means that the hypervisor relies on the host OS for its functionality and resource management.

The characteristic of a Type 2 Hypervisor being embedded in a host operating system makes it generally more suitable for desktop environments and less optimal for high-performance server virtualization compared to a Type 1 Hypervisor. Additionally, it may be easier to install and manage because users can take advantage of the existing OS's capabilities, but may not deliver the same performance and resource efficiency as running directly on hardware.
