Options

• ASCP from a browser in the private cloud to the remote server
• BSSH from an intermediary server in the DMZ

Explanation

In this scenario, the external maintenance company needs to reach the remote management server sitting in the DMZ. The traffic flow goes from outside → inward to the DMZ server, so the administrators SSH to the intermediary server in the DMZ (Option C). From there, that DMZ server can relay management traffic into the private cloud. Option B ('SSH from an intermediary server') reverses the direction - it implies the DMZ server initiates the connection outward, which is not how remote administrators connect. SCP from a browser (A) is not a valid tool pairing, and HTTP (D) is unencrypted and unsuitable for remote server management. SSH is the correct protocol because it provides encrypted, authenticated remote access, and the DMZ server acts as the controlled entry point that separates the public-facing zone from the private cloud.
