Selected Answer: C
In this scenario, the most significant risk is a vulnerability in the virtualization platform affecting multiple hosts. This vulnerability could potentially compromise the security of all virtualized servers within the environment. Exploiting such a vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or other malicious activities across multiple hosts, posing a significant threat to the organization's data security, integrity, and availability. Therefore, addressing and mitigating vulnerabilities in the virtualization platform should be a top priority to safeguard the entire virtualized server environment.
