Explanation
Agent-based filtering installs a software client directly on each laptop, so the filtering policy travels with the device regardless of network location - in the office, at home, or on public Wi-Fi - with no extra network configuration required. A centralized proxy (B) fails the requirement because remote users would need VPN or additional network access to route traffic through the corporate proxy, which is exactly what the question rules out. URL scanning (C) and content categorization (D) are filtering techniques (how content is evaluated), not deployment architectures - they describe what a filter checks, not where the filter lives, so neither addresses the location-independence problem.
Memory tip: Think "the agent goes where the employee goes." If the filter needs to follow the laptop out of the office with zero extra network setup, it must live on the laptop itself - that's the agent.
