A user's PC breaks and a technician needs to configure a new machine with a copy of their computer image stored on a remote server. Which of the following technologies would help RIS install this…
The correct answer is D. PXE. PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) allows a client machine to boot over the network and communicate with a Remote Installation Services (RIS) server to receive an OS image. It is the foundational technology enabling diskless or imageless deployments.

Why each option
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) allows a client machine to boot over the network and communicate with a Remote Installation Services (RIS) server to receive an OS image. It is the foundational technology enabling diskless or imageless deployments.
BRD is not a recognized standard technology for network-based OS deployment or remote installation services.
A DVD is physical optical media that requires local insertion and cannot facilitate a remote server-based image deployment.
USB is a physical local media standard; while it can hold installation files, it does not enable remote server-based image delivery.
PXE is a network boot standard built into NICs that allows a computer to obtain an IP address via DHCP and then contact a deployment server - such as RIS or WDS - to download and install an operating system image without any local boot media. It operates before the OS loads, making it the required technology for remote imaging scenarios. RIS specifically relies on PXE to initiate communication with client machines.
A CD is physical optical media that requires local access and cannot connect to a remote installation server over the network.
