Explanation

System image deployment (B) is the most efficient method for deploying identical configurations to multiple machines with the same hardware. A single master image - containing the OS, drivers, applications, and network-specific settings - is created once and then pushed to all 20 PCs simultaneously or sequentially using deployment tools (e.g., Windows Deployment Services, Ghost, Clonezilla). This drastically reduces repetitive manual effort. A clean install (D) would require individually configuring each machine. An OS upgrade (C) would not ensure identical baseline configurations. Multiboot (A) sets up multiple OSes on one machine, which is irrelevant here.
