When using VMware in NAT mode, the host system acts as the NAT device. It translates the address of virtual machines to its own address before forwarding packets to the external network. Additionally, the NAT device serves as a DNS proxy for virtual machines, forwarding DNS requests to a DNS server known by the host system1. So, the correct answer is C. Host system.

The correct answer is: C. Host system In VMware NAT mode, the host system acts as a NAT device. This means that the host system translates the IP addresses of the virtual machines on its network to its own IP address before sending traffic to the internet. This allows the virtual machines to share the host system's internet connection without having their own public IP addresses. The other answer choices are incorrect: A. Guest system: The guest system is a virtual machine. Guest systems do not act as NAT devices. B. Local gateway: The local gateway is the router that connects the host system's network to the internet. The local gateway does not act as a NAT device. D. Virtual system: A virtual system is a virtual machine. Virtual systems do not act as NAT devices.
