Why each option

To connect a desktop PC to the internet using 802.11n (Wi-Fi) when RJ45 connections are unavailable, a wireless network interface card must be installed.

AWireless NICCorrect

An 802.11n connection refers to Wi-Fi, which requires a wireless network interface card (NIC) to send and receive wireless signals. A wireless NIC enables the desktop PC to connect to an access point or wireless router and access the internet without physical Ethernet cables.

BNFS system

An NFS (Network File System) system is a distributed file system protocol that allows a user to access files and directories located on remote computers and does not provide wireless network connectivity.

CSSHD

SSHD (Secure Shell Daemon) is a server-side component of the SSH protocol used for secure remote access and command execution, and it does not provide wireless network connectivity.

DUSB card

A USB card (typically an expansion card for USB ports) adds more USB connectivity to a computer but does not inherently provide wireless networking capabilities.
