Question:

What allows a guest machine to connect to a network when a hypervisor is running?

A Virtual NIC.
explanation

A virtual NIC (network interface card) is a software-defined device that allows a virtual machine to connect to a network. The virtual NIC is created by the hypervisor and is assigned an IP address and other network settings. The virtual NIC then uses the host machine's physical NIC to connect to the network.
