Why each option
For Remote PC Access, hibernate and network card energy saving must be disabled to ensure the physical PC remains powered and network-reachable for incoming remote connections at all times.
The Windows screen saver does not interrupt network connectivity or alter the machine's power state, so it does not prevent remote users from initiating or maintaining a Citrix HDX session.
Automatic screen lock restricts local console access but does not affect the ability of a remote Citrix session to connect to or interact with the machine over the network.
Hibernation writes system state to disk and powers the PC off completely, making it unreachable for remote sessions; disabling hibernate ensures the machine remains in a connectable power state for Remote PC Access.
Wake on LAN should remain enabled for Remote PC Access so that a powered-off machine can be woken remotely by the Citrix infrastructure; disabling it would reduce, not improve, remote accessibility.
Network card energy saving features can power down or throttle the NIC during idle periods, severing the network link that Citrix HDX sessions depend on; disabling this feature keeps the NIC continuously active and the machine accessible.
