Explanation

SSH (Secure Shell) is the correct choice for securely accessing a server remotely over a network. SSH operates on port 22 and provides encrypted command-line access to a server's interface, making it ideal for remote administration. The scenario mentions MAC filtering (controlling which devices can connect) and port forwarding (opening port 22 through the router/firewall to the server) - both are standard configurations for enabling secure SSH access from outside the network. Telnet (C) is insecure because it transmits data in plaintext and is not used for secure connections. Remote Assistance (A) requires the remote user to initiate the session and is not typically used for server access. RDP (D) provides a graphical desktop interface (port 3389) and while valid for remote access, SSH is the standard choice for secure server CLI access and is the better fit given the security measures described.
