It's B. Source: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/hyper-v/set-vmprocessor?view=win10-ps -EnableHostResourceProtection Specifies whether to enable host resource protection on the virtual machine. When enabled, the host will enforce limits on some aspects of the virtual machine's activity, preventing excessive consumption of host compute resources. VM activities controlled by this setting include the VMbus pipe messages associated with a subset of the VM's virtual devices, and intercepts generated by the VM. The virtual devices affected include the video, keyboard, mouse, and dynamic memory VDEVs.
