Explanation

The Cisco TelePresence MCU 4500 natively supports conference streaming, which encodes an active conference as an MPEG-4 or similar stream that observers can watch via a web browser or media player without requiring a video endpoint or additional conferencing port license. This leverages existing MCU hardware already owned by the company, making it the most cost-effective approach. Cisco Digital Media Players (B) require additional DMS infrastructure investment. Deploying a TelePresence Content Server (C) adds hardware cost and is designed for recording and on-demand playback rather than live observer access. Media distribution servers (D) involve the most infrastructure overhead and cost.
