Why each option
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) allows a computer to boot from the network and receive an operating system image from a deployment server, making it the standard method for mass OS image deployment.
PXE booting connects the client machine to a network-based deployment service (such as WDS or MDT) before any local OS loads, allowing a disk image containing a full OS and applications to be pushed down and written to the local drive. This is the primary use case for PXE in enterprise and educational environments.
Multiboot configuration involves setting up a local bootloader such as GRUB to choose between multiple operating systems installed on local storage, not a network boot process.
An in-place upgrade updates an existing OS installation to a newer version using local media or a mounted ISO, not a network PXE boot.
System repair uses recovery tools from local media, a USB drive, or a recovery partition, and does not require PXE network booting.
