CSystem recovery partition
DUnattended installation

Explanation

An unattended installation uses an answer file (such as unattend.xml) that pre-populates all required setup prompts-partition choices, regional settings, product key, user accounts-so the OS installs from start to finish without anyone at the keyboard.

Volume Shadow Services (A) handles backup snapshots, not OS deployment. gpupdate /force (B) refreshes Group Policy on an already-running system. A system recovery partition (C) restores a pre-existing image but requires local interaction to trigger.
