Answers

D.
The physical servers are contending for resources
Answers
D.
The physical servers are contending for resources
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

The physical servers are throttling due to overheating. This means that the servers are reducing their performance to prevent damage from excessive heat. This can cause the virtual machines to run slowly, as they depend on the physical servers' resources. To avoid this, the servers need adequate cooling and ventilation, as well as monitoring of their temperature and fan speed. According to the CompTIA Core1 objectives, one of the environmental factors that can affect system performance is overheating. A research paper on thermal management of servers also states that overheating can lead to performance degradation, reliability issues, and energy inefficiency.
