Explanation
A docking station is specifically designed to solve this use case. All peripherals connect permanently to the dock, and the user can undock the laptop with a single action - typically pressing one button or releasing one latch - to instantly disconnect from all accessories and go. Directly connecting all accessories (A) would require unplugging six separate cables every time the user leaves, which defeats the purpose. Providing a second laptop (B) is expensive and doesn't address the quick-departure requirement. A USB hub (D) could handle the USB devices but cannot connect the HDMI monitor or the 3.5mm headset without additional adapters, and still wouldn't provide the single-action disconnect that a docking station offers.
