Explanation

The PAN-OS integrated User-ID agent is built into the firewall itself and is suitable for small to medium environments where management-plane resources are not heavily utilized. Given the scenario - one floor, one building, two domain controllers on a single network, lightly utilized management plane - the integrated agent is sufficient and avoids the overhead of deploying separate Windows-based agents (B). A Windows-based agent (B) makes sense for larger or distributed environments. A Citrix terminal server agent (A) is for VDI/Citrix environments. A syslog listener (D) is an alternative collection method but typically supplementary. The integrated agent is the simplest and most appropriate choice here.
