This is because you have the Enable EFI option enabled in the settings for that virtual machine:
You can either change the setting in VirtualBox or you an use the right arrow and enter to select "OK"

I'd say is the second options since I'm not running anything in a virtualbox, I was actually tying to install virtual box on ubuntu. No I guess my question is, if go select "OK" what are the implications of having a secure boot? and what if I just don't do nothing?

For a virtual machine there is not much different. These settings exist because some operating systems (MacOS) refuse to boot without secure boot enabled as a security feature or a DRM feature depending on how you look at it. Outside a VM the purpose of secure boot is designed as a way to only boot into a "trusted" source so that a compromised hard drive cannot contain malware. In reality, it doesn't work because 99.9% of people use hard drives without full disk encryption which means malware can still easily execute on such "trusted" drives.
