The provided solution is correct, and it will meet the stated goal of adding a file named File1.txt from Server1 to a folder named C:\Folder1 in the container image.
The Dockerfile is a text file that contains a set of instructions used to build a Docker image. The Dockerfile contains a series of commands, such as COPY or ADD, which are used to copy files or directories into the container image.
In the given scenario, the solution uses the XCOPY command, which is a command-line utility that is used to copy files and directories. The XCOPY command is executed inside the container image, and it copies the File1.txt file from the host server, Server1, to the C:\Folder1 directory in the container image.
Therefore, the provided solution is correct and will meet the stated goal of adding a file named File1.txt from Server1 to a folder named C:\Folder1 in the container image. Hence, the answer is A. Yes.
