Explanation

SSH (Secure Shell) is the correct choice for secure remote management of a Linux system. It encrypts all traffic-including authentication credentials and commands-between the client and server, protecting sensitive data from interception. Telnet (A) transmits data in plaintext and should never be used for sensitive systems. HTTPS (B) is a web protocol, not a remote management shell. RDP (D) is Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol, designed primarily for Windows. SFTP (E) is used for secure file transfers, not full system management. SSH provides an encrypted, authenticated command-line interface specifically designed for this use case.
