Its A, only IP KVM lets you get into BIOS or do full bare-metal stuff remotely. The others need the OS running.
A had something like this in a mock. None of the others let you hit BIOS remotely if the OS is down.
This is asking specifically about bare-metal maintenance, so does the server have any OS installed or is it totally unprovisioned? If there’s no OS at all, only something like an IP KVM (A) would work since VNC, RDP, and SSH need a running OS. If the server already has remote access utilities set up, the answer could change.
