Explanation

An in-place upgrade installs the new OS version on top of the existing installation, migrating user accounts, personal files, applications, and settings in the process. This is exactly what the user requires. A clean install (B) wipes the drive and starts fresh, losing all existing data and settings. A network installation (A) describes the source of the installation media (over the network), not whether data is preserved-it can be either clean or in-place. Image deployment (D) applies a pre-captured disk image to a system, which would overwrite the user's existing environment.
