I think correct C Type 1 hypervisors are an OS themselves, a very basic one on top of which you can run virtual machines. The physical machine the hypervisor is running on serves virtualization purposes only. https://phoenixnap.com/kb/what-is-hypervisor-type-1-2

Answer C states "..without relying on the underlying OS". There is none so is this a catch in the wording . The best answer may actually be A as Type 1 hypervisors do require hardware acceleration

type 1 hypervisors are known as bare metal and do not require a underlying OS this is called a type 2 hypervisor which does have a os on the bottom

type 1 is bare metal meaning no OS needed to host the hypervisor and hypervisor is directly on hardware. type 2 means that the hypervisor runs as an application on an existing OS that controls the hardware. the answer here is C as skh indicated correctly above
