Explanation

Session Reliability (B) is correct because it is the Citrix policy that keeps sessions active and the display visible on screen when network connectivity is lost - the key clue is the 100-second window (Session Reliability's default timeout is 180 seconds) during which the session stays open and automatically resumes at the exact same point after reconnection, without requiring the user to log back in.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Load Management - controls how user sessions are distributed across servers to balance load; it has nothing to do with network interruptions or session continuity.
• C. ICA Keep Alive - sends periodic signals to detect dead sessions and clean them up, not preserve them; it terminates rather than maintains a session during an outage.
• D. Auto Client Reconnect - does allow reconnection after a dropped session, but it requires the client to re-authenticate and re-launch the session, meaning you would not seamlessly resume at the same progress point as before.

Memory tip: Think of Session Reliability as a "freeze and hold" feature - it freezes your session on-screen during an outage and holds it open on the server until you reconnect, like pausing a video. Auto Client Reconnect, by contrast, hits play from the beginning of a new session.
