Which of the following server virtualization features would BEST allow an administrator to quickly prepare a virtual server so that it is ready for use?

Remote configuration refers to managing a server from a different location but does not inherently speed up the initial preparation or deployment of a new server.

The absence of physical hardware setup is a general benefit of virtualization, not a specific feature for quickly preparing a new virtual server.

Native RIS (Remote Installation Services) integration is a specific technology for deploying operating systems over a network to physical machines, not a direct feature of virtualization for rapid VM preparation.

Cloning a virtual machine from a template is a core feature of server virtualization that allows administrators to quickly deploy new virtual servers. A template is a master image of a pre-configured virtual machine, and cloning it creates an identical, ready-to-use VM, significantly reducing deployment time and ensuring configuration consistency.
