Explanation

Because the user can access the Internet but not office resources, the most likely cause is that the VPN (Virtual Private Network) is not connected or misconfigured. A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel from the home computer to the corporate network, allowing access to internal resources like file shares and printers. Without an active VPN connection, those resources are simply unreachable from outside the office network. DHCP (B) and DNS (D) are functioning since the user has working internet access. NAT (C) is handled by the router and would affect all traffic, not just corporate resources, if it were the issue.
