Selected Answer: B

B. However, I don't really like the word "under" in regards to how the Linux virtual box is installed. I would have used maybe: "in", "on", or "embedded", even though embedded isn't really the best way to describe it. Sounds like good ole CompTIA asking weird questions.

Limited bandwidth negates any cloud environment solution; therefore, the answer is B.

Im actually kind of confused by this because it says he has limited bandwidth and running a VM takes some resources, so how could this be a viable answer?

I think the limited bandwidth has to do with the user's internet connection, therefore making answer A unviable.

I wish that there was an answer for making a docker application that way there wouldn't need to be any resources allocated to running an entire VM on the same computer
