Explanation

Summary Report with Wildcard is correct because the wildcard feature enables Registry Viewer to match and document multiple registry entries whose exact names are unknown - rather than requiring you to specify each user name individually, the wildcard pattern (e.g., *) automatically captures all matching entries and compiles them into a report in one operation.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Add to Report): Adds a single, already-identified item to a report; you must know what you're selecting, making it useless for unknown names.
• B (Export User List): Exports an existing, defined list of users - it doesn't search for or match unknown entries dynamically.
• C (Add to Report with Children): Includes a selected key and its subkeys/values, but still requires you to manually select a known starting point.

Memory tip: Think "unknown = wildcard." Whenever an exam question mentions multiple items whose names you don't know, the answer almost always involves a wildcard or pattern-matching function. The word "automatically" in the question is the signal that human selection of each item isn't happening - only a wildcard query can sweep and document unknowns hands-free.
