Why each option

To activate multiple kiosk computers, a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) should be specified in an answer file during the operating system deployment process.

ACreate a reference image that has a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) located in C:\License.txt.

Storing a MAK in a plain text file on the C: drive of an image is an insecure and improper method for volume license key management.

BCreate an image of an activated reference computer.

Creating an image of an already activated computer is generally not supported for volume licensing and can lead to activation issues, as Sysprep typically removes unique system identifiers including activation data.

CIn an answer file, specify a Generic Volume Licensing Key (GVLK).

Specifying a Generic Volume Licensing Key (GVLK) requires a Key Management Service (KMS) host to be deployed and reachable on the network for activation, which is not implied as a requirement or available service for these kiosk computers.

DIn an answer file, specify a Multiple Activation Key (MAK).Correct

A Multiple Activation Key (MAK) is a volume licensing key that allows a specific number of activations directly with Microsoft's online activation services. Specifying the MAK in an answer file (e.g., unattend.xml) during the operating system deployment process automates the product key entry, ensuring that each kiosk computer activates upon installation without requiring a dedicated Key Management Service (KMS) host.
