Question
Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain. The domain contains 100 client computers that run Windows 10.

Explanation
Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) is a free tool from Microsoft that supports in-place upgrades from Windows 10 to Windows 11 using existing volume licensing media and keys - no additional licensing cost is incurred. Configuration Manager (B) requires server infrastructure and licensing beyond the current environment. Subscription Activation (C) requires upgrading to a Microsoft 365 E3/E5 or Windows Enterprise subscription, which increases licensing costs. Windows Autopilot (A) is designed for provisioning new or reset devices and requires Azure AD and Intune. MDT minimizes cost while requiring only minimal infrastructure (a network share or USB), making D the best fit.
