Why each option
Remote BIOS management requires out-of-band tools that operate before or independently of the OS - a dedicated management card and an IP KVM both satisfy this requirement.
Remote desktop software requires a running OS and an active user session, so it cannot reach the pre-boot BIOS environment.
A dedicated management card (such as IPMI, iDRAC, or iLO) provides out-of-band hardware access including BIOS/UEFI configuration entirely independent of the server's OS state, even when the server is powered off.
Telnet provides a text-based command-line session to the OS only and has no capability to interact with the server BIOS before or during the boot process.
An IP KVM transmits the server's actual video output and accepts keyboard/mouse input over the network before the OS loads, giving full BIOS-level interactive control remotely.
A VPN creates an encrypted network tunnel but is only a connectivity layer and provides no interface for accessing or modifying BIOS settings.
