Why each option
RDP provides a secure graphical interface for remote control of a Windows PC, allowing a technician to have the same level of access as a local user.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files between computers, not for remote control of a graphical desktop.
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that provides a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection. It allows a user to control a remote computer with a full graphical desktop experience, as if they were sitting in front of it, which is ideal for remote technical support on Windows PCs.
SSH (Secure Shell) provides a secure command-line interface for remote access to servers and network devices, but not a full graphical desktop experience like RDP.
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) provides remote graphical desktop access, but RDP is the primary and preferred tool for secure remote access to Windows PCs in corporate environments.
