An administrator is sizing the CPU requirements of a new application. The application requires 12 guest VMs to run concurrently on the host. If each guest requires 500MHz of CPU and the server has two sockets, which of the following CPUs will ensure there are sufficient host CPU resources for this application?
A) 1.6GHz CPU
B) 2.0GHz CPU
C) 2.5GHz CPU

Each guest VM requires 500MHz, so 12 VMs require 6000MHz (12 x 500MHz). With two sockets, each CPU must provide at least 3000MHz. A 3.2GHz (3200MHz) CPU per socket will meet this requirement.
