Hypervisor in GCP refers to the software that creates and manages virtual machines on Google Cloud Platform. So both VM or hypervisor should be the correct answer.
A hypervisor is a specific type of software or firmware that enables virtualization by creating and managing virtual machines (VMs). It is the underlying technology that allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical server.
The hypervisor sits between the hardware and the virtual machines, providing an abstraction layer that allows the operating systems running in the virtual machines to interact with the underlying hardware resources. It manages the allocation and sharing of physical resources such as CPU, memory, storage, and networking among the virtual machines.
I agree with A, but IMHO I think the answer is malformed, because the name of the technology itself, for me is "virtualization", hypervisor is more like one of the layers that operates on this technology to make viable the hardware sharing for the different virtual machines.
