Explanation
An ISO file is a disk image - a sector-by-sector copy of a CD/DVD. The correct approach is to mount it using a virtual drive tool (or Windows' built-in mount feature), which makes the OS treat it as a physical disc. The technician then runs the installer (e.g., setup.exe) from within that virtual drive. ISO files are not directly executable (B, C), so you cannot simply run the ISO itself. ISO files are not compressed archives (D) - they are raw disk images and cannot be 'unzipped' like a ZIP or RAR file.
