E.
Operating System Partitioning
Explanation:
Paravirtualized (PVM) — A software interface similar but not identical to the underlying hardware is
presented to the guest operating system. Paravirtualization provides hooks for guest instructions
so that complicated tasks can be performed by the host instead of the virtual machine, where
performance is worse. Paravirtualization requires that the guest kernel is ported to be made aware
of the virtual environment.
