Explanation

Modern UEFI firmware supports remote management features-such as those provided by out-of-band management controllers (IPMI/BMC, iDRAC, iLO)-that allow an administrator to mount a remote ISO or DVD image as virtual media and boot from it as though it were physically attached. PXE (option B) enables network booting via TFTP/DHCP but does not mount a remote DVD. NFS (option C) is a network file-sharing protocol. GRUB (option D) is a bootloader that runs after the firmware has already handed off control, so it cannot initiate remote media boot.
