  1. Operating system

  2. Device driver

  3. Application software

  4. a Type 1 hypervisor

The correct answer is: a Type 1 hypervisor

While an operating system manages the resources of a computer, a device driver enables communication between an operating system and hardware. An application software is a program that performs specific tasks for a user, such as word processing or photo editing. Therefore, the correct answer is D as it specifically mentions managing storage, network, and virtual machines.
