Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Memory Shares

    Why it's wrong here

    Shares determine priority during contention, not absolute guarantees.

  • Memory Reservation

    Why this is correct

    Reservations provide a guaranteed allocation of physical memory.

  • Memory Limit

    Why it's wrong here

    Limits cap the maximum memory, they do not guarantee a minimum.

  • Memory Ballooning

    Why it's wrong here

    Ballooning is a reclamation technique, not a configuration setting.
