Why each option

To provide graphical remote access to Windows, Linux, and macOS desktops over a LAN without external internet, RDP is a likely single software solution.

ANC

NC (Netcat) is a command-line network utility, not a graphical remote access tool.

BRMM

RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) solutions often rely on cloud services and internet connectivity for their full feature set, which conflicts with the 'no external internet connection' requirement.

CRDPCorrect

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a widely used protocol for graphical remote access, primarily for Windows, but clients are available for Linux and macOS. With appropriate server implementations (e.g., xrdp on Linux) or client-side capabilities, a single RDP client can be used to connect to these diverse operating systems over a local area network without requiring an external internet connection.

DSSH

SSH (Secure Shell) provides text-based command-line access by default, not graphical remote access unless used for tunneling other graphical protocols like VNC or X11, which would require additional software.
