Why each option
Group Policies are primarily applied to networked computers during startup and user logon to ensure consistent configuration.
Computer backups are administrative tasks unrelated to the default application timing of Group Policies.
By default, Group Policy Objects (GPOs) linked to computer objects are applied when the computer starts up. This ensures that computer-specific settings, such as security policies, software installations, and system configurations, are in effect before any user logs on.
User accessing a shared drive is an action that might be governed by Group Policy settings but does not trigger the initial application of policies.
Running gpresult.exe is a command-line tool to display the resultant set of policy (RSoP) for a user or computer, not to apply policies.
