Explanation

Remote Access VPN secures the network tunnel between endpoints and the corporate network, making it the right tool for Mobile users (laptops, smartphones connecting from untrusted networks like airports or hotels) and Campus & Branch locations that extend corporate connectivity over the internet. These are the two scenarios where users are traversing an untrusted network to reach protected resources - exactly the problem VPN solves.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Cloud - Cloud security is addressed by CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) solutions, not VPN.
• C. Voicemail - Voicemail threats are part of unified communications security, a separate domain.
• E. Email - Email is protected by dedicated secure email gateways (e.g., anti-phishing, anti-spam tools), not VPN.

Memory tip: Think "VPN = the road warrior's shield." The two groups who need it are people on the move (Mobile) and remote offices (Campus & Branch) - both are outside the protected perimeter and traversing untrusted links. If the threat vector involves email or cloud apps directly, a different tool owns that lane.
