What is the primary role of a hypervisor in a virtualized environment?

To provide antivirus and security protection for all virtual machines

To provide a graphical user interface for users to access their virtual machines

To replace the operating system of the host computer with a lightweight kernel

To allocate and manage the physical hardware resources among multiple virtual machines

What is desktop virtualization?
