Explanation
A multi-boot configuration requires each operating system to have its own dedicated space on the storage media - each Windows edition must be installed on a separate partition. Partitions create isolated logical divisions on a disk, allowing each OS to have its own boot files, system files, and registry without interfering with the others. The Windows Boot Manager can then present a menu at startup allowing the user to choose which partition/OS to boot into. Using multiple hard drives (B) can achieve the same goal but is not required and is more expensive. Using a single partition (C) is impossible for multi-boot, as two OSes cannot occupy the same partition. PXE boot (D) is a network-based boot method used to load an OS from a server, which is unrelated to local multi-boot configuration.
