Sparse images, huh? I guess they're like my closet - only using the space I actually need, not the whole darn thing!

E? Resizing automatically? What is this, magic? I'll stick with the practical answers, B and D.

Definitely, practical answers are always the way to go. B and D make the most sense in this context.

Yeah, E does sound like magic, but I'll go with B and D as well.

I agree, D is also true because sparse images allocate storage when a block is first used.

Yeah, I agree. It's not magic, just how sparse images work. They don't automatically resize, you have to manage that.

Hmm, I'm not sure about C. Isn't paravirtualization a whole different thing? I'll go with B and D to be safe.

I think B and D are the correct answers. Sparse images can save storage space by only allocating what's actually used, not the full nominal size.
