Explanation

Clientless access is correct because it allows users to connect to internal web applications using only a web browser - no VPN client or plugin is installed on the endpoint. This is ideal for vendor/contractor scenarios where administrators want to limit access to web-based resources only, without granting broader network connectivity.

ICA Proxy (B) is wrong because it is designed specifically to proxy Citrix ICA protocol traffic to published virtual apps and desktops - not general web applications. Reverse Proxy (C) is a network architecture concept, not a configurable mode on Citrix Gateway for this use case. Full SSL VPN (D) is wrong because it installs a client and provides full network-layer access, which is far more permissive than "web access only" and inappropriate for untrusted vendor machines.

Memory tip: Think "clientless = no client = browser only." Whenever you see the phrase web access only or no client software, that's your cue to pick Clientless Access.
