While unmanaged memory leaks (option B) are a very specific technical risk unique to virtualization, the broader implication of vulnerabilities (option D) exposing sensitive data might be seen as encompassing a range of potential vulnerabilities, including memory leaks and others. So, answer D is included B also

Selected Answer: B
Unmanaged memory may leak data between guests: Virtualization involves sharing physical resources among multiple virtual machines (VMs). If memory is not properly managed, sensitive data from one VM could potentially be accessed by another VM running on the same physical host. This is a significant concern as it directly relates to the isolation between virtual machines.
