Why each option

This question asks for the file type that Microsoft servers can natively package for remote software installation.

A.exe

An .exe file is a general executable program but is not inherently designed for managed remote deployment without additional packaging or scripting.

B.ini

An .ini file is a configuration file, not an installer package.

C.msiCorrect

The .msi (Microsoft Software Installer) file format is the standard package type for installing, maintaining, and removing software on Windows systems and is natively supported for deployment via Microsoft server technologies like Group Policy or System Center Configuration Manager.

D.dll

A .dll file is a dynamic-link library used by programs, not an installation package itself.
