Explanation

The question specifically states 'optical media,' which refers to disc-based storage such as CDs, DVDs, or Blu-rays. A DVD is an optical media format commonly used to distribute OS installation images. Booting from DVD is the direct and appropriate method. PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) boots over the network. Tape is a magnetic backup medium, not optical. USB is a flash-based storage medium - also convenient for imaging but not optical media.
