• A

• B
  13% (6)
• C
  6% (3)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

RDP through RD Gateway is the best option because it provides a secure, authenticated GUI remote desktop session tunneled through an RD Gateway, which acts as an encrypted HTTPS intermediary. This allows remote access from a Windows workstation across network boundaries (such as firewalls or the internet) without exposing the server directly. Apple Remote Desktop (B) is a macOS-only client solution and cannot be used from a Windows workstation natively. SSH (C) is a command-line protocol and does not provide GUI access. VNC (D) provides GUI access but transmits credentials and screen data with weaker security by default, and lacks the enterprise-grade gateway tunneling that RD Gateway provides, making it the less secure option.
