Correct answer & explanation

Bridged: VM appears as a separate device on the physical network

Bridged mode connects the VM to the physical network as if it were a separate host. NAT mode allows the VM to share the host’s IP address for outbound access. Host-only mode creates an isolated network between the host and VMs. Internal mode isolates VMs from the host. Custom mode allows the user to select a specific virtual switch.

✓ P1.Bridged: VM appears as a separate device on the physical network
✓ P2.NAT: VM uses host IP address for outbound traffic
✓ P3.Host-only: VM can communicate only with the host and other VMs on the same host
✓ P4.Internal: VM can communicate only with other VMs on the same host
✓ P5.Custom: VM connects to a specific virtual switch

Why P1: Bridged mode shares the host's physical network, NAT uses the host's IP for outbound traffic, host-only isolates VMs from external networks, internal mode allows VM-to-VM communication only, and custom mode uses a specific virtual switch.
