Explanation

Telnet is the correct answer because the Linux servers explicitly do not support secure protocols such as SSH. Telnet provides a command-line login mechanism for legacy systems that lack SSH support. The administrator has already established a secure TLS 1.2 tunnel to the private network, so Telnet traffic within that encrypted tunnel is protected at the network layer. SSH (C) would normally be the preferred choice for Linux remote access, but the scenario rules it out. RDP (B) is primarily a Windows GUI protocol. SSL (A) is a transport-layer security protocol, not a remote login shell protocol.
