Why each option
When installing software on a macOS computer, the technician will most likely use a .app file, which is the standard application bundle format.
.deb files are package files used for software installation on Debian-based Linux distributions, not macOS.
.vbs files are Visual Basic Script files used on Windows operating systems, not macOS.
.exe files are executable program files primarily used on Windows operating systems, not macOS.
The .app file extension represents an application bundle in macOS, which is a directory containing the executable code and all resources for an application. This is the standard format for macOS applications, often distributed within .dmg (disk image) files.
