Why each option

To deploy an operating system via Windows Deployment Services (WDS) without using a physical boot disk, the client machine must support network booting capabilities.

AFTP server

An FTP server is used for file transfers but is not the mechanism for network booting and OS deployment through WDS.

BPXE supportCorrect

PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) support is essential for network-based operating system deployment without local boot media. It allows client machines to boot directly from the network card and connect to the WDS server to download boot images.

CCUPS

CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) is related to printing services, not operating system deployment.

DInstallation CD

An installation CD is a physical boot disk, which the question explicitly states is NOT being used.
