Selected Answer: B
Keeping hypervisors updated with the latest patches is crucial for security. One of the primary concerns with hypervisor vulnerabilities is the risk of a VM escape attack, where an attacker gains access to the host system from a virtual machine. Patching helps mitigate this risk by closing known vulnerabilities that could be exploited for such attacks.

Selected Answer: B
B. To reduce the probability of a VM escape attack The other options might be related to good practices but do not directly relate to the reason for keeping hypervisors patched. Option A is partially correct but doesn't capture the essence of why hypervisors specifically need to be patched. It's the vulnerability that could lead to a VM escape that makes patching them so critical.
