File Types for Remote Installation

C.

The correct answer is C. .msi.

MSI stands for Microsoft Installer, and it is a package file format used by Microsoft Windows for software installation, removal, and maintenance. The MSI files contain information about the application to be installed, such as files, registry settings, shortcuts, and user preferences. They are designed to be self-contained and can be deployed to multiple computers using a variety of methods, including Group Policy, System Center Configuration Manager, or other remote installation tools.

In contrast, .exe files are executable files that can contain a variety of applications, scripts, or malware, and they do not necessarily include all the necessary installation information. .ini files are configuration files that store settings for Windows applications, but they are not used for installation. .dll files are dynamic link libraries that contain code and data used by Windows applications, but they are not standalone installation packages.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. .msi, as it is a file type specifically designed for remote installation on Microsoft servers.
