Why each option

For approval processing with the least developer effort, the built-in SharePoint Approval workflow requires zero code and is immediately available for use on lists and libraries.

ARemote Event Receiver

A Remote Event Receiver requires writing, deploying, and hosting custom .NET code to respond to SharePoint events, which represents significant developer effort.

BOut-of-the-box workflowCorrect

The out-of-the-box Approval workflow in SharePoint is a pre-built, configurable workflow template that handles routing items to one or more approvers, sending notifications, and recording outcomes without any development or tooling. It can be associated with a list or library through the browser-based UI, making it the lowest-effort option for standard approval scenarios.

CSharePoint Designer workflow

A SharePoint Designer workflow requires a developer or power user to open SharePoint Designer, design the workflow logic, and publish it - more effort than using a built-in template.

DWork Item Timer Job

A Work Item Timer Job requires custom server-side code and farm-level deployment, making it the highest-effort option and inappropriate for a simple approval scenario.
