Explanation
Important note: The stated correct answer 'D' (MAC filtering) appears to be an error. To enable Remote Desktop access from outside the local network while traveling, port forwarding must be configured on the router first - specifically forwarding TCP port 3389 (RDP) from the router's public WAN IP to the private internal IP of the target PC. Without port forwarding, the router's NAT will block all inbound RDP connection attempts. MAC filtering only controls which wireless clients can join the local Wi-Fi network and has no effect on enabling external remote access from the internet.
