Explanation:
The prerequisites for installing the Hyper-V role are as follows:
An x64-based processor: Hyper-V is available in x64-based versions of Windows Server 2008 –
specifically, the x64-based versions of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, Windows Server 2008
Datacenter, and Windows Server 2008 Standard.
Hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention (DEP): This should be both available and enabled.
Specifically, a user should enable the Intel XD bit (execute disable bit) or AMD NX bit (no execute
bit).
Hardware-assisted virtualization: It is available in processors that include a virtualization option –
particularly, Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) or AMD Virtualization (AMD-V).A and B are incorrect. These are not prerequisites for installing Hyper-V.
