Explanation
The correct answer is C - Allow Windows Remote Management (WinRM) through the Microsoft Defender Firewall. Windows Admin Center communicates with managed nodes over WinRM (ports 5985/5986). For Computer1 to manage Computer2, the Defender Firewall on Computer2 must permit inbound WinRM traffic. Option A (updating TrustedHosts) is performed on the source/management machine (Computer1) when connecting with local accounts, not on the target. Option B (Enable-PSRemoting) enables PowerShell remoting but in a domain environment WinRM service may already be running - the firewall rule is the specific blocker. Option D is similar to C but refers to manually adding a custom rule, while C describes the simpler, built-in method of allowing the predefined WinRM rule.
