As your output indicates, you have only one interface which is set to use NAT.

To be able to send request from your host to your Ubuntu, you should create a Host-only network, and a new interface for your VM, then attach your VM to this network which your host is sitting on it too.

Create a host-only network:

In VirtualBox from file menu select preferences and in VirtualBox Preferences window, select Network, then host only networks.

After all by clicking on + plus sign add a new host-only network. it's name should be vboxnet0.

Run DHCP server

Then double click on it and go to DHCP tab to run a DHCP Server on this network, do your desired configuration as follow:

enter image description here

Create a new interface

Then you should add an interface to your Ubuntu VM and attach it to this network.

Do a right click on your Ubuntu VM, select settings, go to network section. Click on Adapter 2, check Enable Network Adapter and for Attached to select Host-Only adapter.

enter image description here

After all click ok to save these settings.

Now when you turn this VM on, you have a new interface, something like: enp0s9 which it should have an IP between 192.168.56.10 to 100, it should be 192.168.56.10. use ip a or ifconfig -a to find it out.

Config Apache

Now make apache to listen to this IP by changing apache configuration file to something like:

Listen 0.0.0.0:80

Or exactly your own IP, like:

Listen 192.168.56.10:80

Some part of this answer, and pictures are from my other answer related to VirtualBox from here.
