A technician is preparing a training room, and the workstations must all have the same OS. applications, and settings. Which of the following methods is the best way to accomplish this request?

A recovery partition is used to restore a single computer to its factory or a predefined state, which is not efficient for deploying a consistent setup to multiple new workstations.

A clean install involves installing the OS and applications individually on each workstation, which is time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies when dealing with multiple machines.

Image deployment involves creating a standardized 'golden image' of an operating system, applications, and configurations, then deploying this image to multiple machines simultaneously. This guarantees uniformity across all workstations, saving significant time and effort compared to individual installations.

An in-place upgrade updates an existing OS to a newer version on a single machine, which is not applicable for setting up multiple new workstations with a standardized configuration.
