At the end of the procedure of installing there is an option "Virtual Machine Host" in Ubuntu 16.04, someone can explain me what is it?

IIRC, that specific menu is based on tasksel, and that option is for installing the KVM Virtual Environment
To be able to use KVM, you will need a CPU that supports either
- Intel VT-x
or
- AMD-V
You can use the egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo command to find out if your CPU supports this option, and you will need to make sure it is enabled in the BIOS.
