Explanation

NOTE: The listed correct answer (C - Directory Services) appears to be incorrect for this scenario. Directory Services refers to enterprise-level solutions like Active Directory, which require a server and significant administrative overhead - inappropriate for a SOHO environment. The objectively correct answer is A - Homegroup. Homegroup was introduced in Windows 7 specifically to allow home and small-office users to easily share media libraries and printers between PCs with minimal configuration, using just a shared password. Workgroup (B) is a basic peer-to-peer grouping that requires more manual share setup. Offline Folders (D) is for syncing files when disconnected from a network. If this question appeared on an actual exam, A (Homegroup) is the defensible answer.
