You administer a Windows 8.1 computer that runs Hyper-V. The computer hosts a virtual machine with multiple snapshots. The virtual machine uses one virtual CPU and 512 MB of RAM.
You discover that the virtual machine pauses automatically and displays the state as paused- critical You need to identify the component that is causing the error.
Which component should you identify?
A. Insufficient hard disk space
B. Insufficient number of virtual processors
C. No virtual switch defined
D. Insufficient memory

Why is my virtual machine "Paused-Critical"? [Hyper-V]
Virtual machines will go into the "Paused-Critical" state under Hyper-V if we detect that we are going to run out of space for the virtual hard disks. If we were to run out of space for expanding a dynamic or differencing virtual hard disk we would start failing disk write operations inside the virtual machine. The result would most likely be that the guest operating system would crash. To avoid this problem we periodically poll the storage that is being used for the virtual hard disks. If the free space falls under 2 gigabyte we will start to log warning messages in the event log. If the free space falls under 200 megabyte we will pause the virtual machine and mark it as "Paused-Critical".
