A type II hypervisor is a software application that runs on top of a host operating system and creates virtual machines that are isolated from the host. A type II hypervisor provides the highest level of isolation from the host operating system because it does not have direct access to the hardware resources and relies on the host operating system for drivers and services. A type II hypervisor also allows the guest operating systems to run different types of operating systems than the host.

The correct answers are C. Rollers and E. Heating element.

A 3in (2.5cm) point-of-sale printer is a type of thermal printer that uses heat to print receipts on special thermal paper. The printer has a heating element that heats up the paper as it passes through the rollers, creating black marks on the paper where the heat is applied. The heating element and the rollers are two critical components of the thermal printer that can affect the quality of the printout.

If the printer is only printing fully black receipts, it means that the heating element is overheating or malfunctioning, causing the entire paper to turn black. The heating element may need to be replaced or repaired by a technician. Alternatively, the rollers may be dirty or damaged, causing the paper to stick to the heating element and get burned. The rollers may need to be cleaned or replaced by a technician.

The other options are not likely to cause the printer to print fully black receipts. The power supply may affect the printer’s performance, but it would not cause the heating element to overheat or the rollers to malfunction. The humidity and room temperature may affect the quality of the thermal paper, but they would not cause the entire paper to turn black. The fuser is a component of a laser printer, not a thermal printer, and it has no effect on the point-of-sale printer.

RAID 10 combines the benefits of RAID 0 and RAID 1. It uses a striped configuration across multiple disks (similar to RAID 0) to provide high-speed read and write access. Additionally, it also mirrors the striped array onto a second set of drives (similar to RAID 1), providing redundancy in case of a drive failure.

NFC (Near Field Communication) is the technology used for contactless payment features on mobile payment devices. If a mobile payment device is having issues with its contactless payment feature and is not detecting payment options, it is most likely due to an issue with the NFC functionality of the device.

The contactless payment feature on a mobile payment device uses NFC (Near Field Communication) to detect payment options. If the device is not detecting payment options, the issue may be related to a problem with the NFC feature. References: https://www.techopedia.com/definition/31790/near-field-communication-nfc
