B.

Local, physical access in a data center is done via KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switches.

The correct answer is B. KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) is used for local, physical access to hardware within a data center.

KVM is a hardware device that allows administrators to control and manage servers and other network devices from a single keyboard, video monitor, and mouse. It is typically used for local, physical access to servers within a data center, allowing administrators to troubleshoot, configure, and maintain servers without having to physically access each server individually.

SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol used for secure remote access to servers, allowing users to remotely access and control servers over an encrypted connection.

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a network technology used to create a secure and encrypted connection between two or more devices over the internet, allowing remote users to access a private network as if they were physically present on the network.

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft for remote access to Windows-based systems, allowing users to remotely access and control Windows-based systems over a network.

While all of these technologies are important for managing and securing data center environments, KVM is specifically used for local, physical access to hardware within a data center.
