Why each option

A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel over the public internet, allowing remote users to securely access internal corporate network resources as if they were on-site.

ARDP

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) provides remote control of a single specific computer, not broad access to the entire internal network.

BDMZ

A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a network segment that hosts publicly accessible servers and is not a mechanism for granting remote employees access to internal resources.

CVPNCorrect

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts traffic and tunnels it through the internet to the corporate network gateway, logically extending the internal network to remote users. It grants access to all internal resources - file shares, applications, and services - without exposing them directly to the internet, making it the standard enterprise solution for remote network access.

DRAS

RAS (Remote Access Service) is a legacy Windows dial-up connection manager; while it can initiate remote connections, VPN is the current standard protocol providing secure, encrypted remote network access.
