The "ACPI Shutdown" option sends an ACPI signal to the virtual machine, which triggers the operating system to initiate a safe and proper shutdown process, similar to pressing the power button on a physical machine. This ensures that all processes are correctly terminated and the file system is properly synchronized before the machine powers off, reducing the risk of data loss or corruption.
