Explanation

A Server Core installation (e.g., Windows Server Core) provides a minimal environment with no graphical user interface (GUI), making it designed for remote administration only via command line, PowerShell remoting, or remote management tools. This aligns directly with the policy that no one should log in directly to the server. A GUI installation (A) invites direct interactive logins. Virtualized (C) refers to deployment method, not access restriction. Clone (D) is a provisioning method that does not inherently restrict direct login. Core reduces attack surface and enforces remote-only management by design.
