    Correct Answer: D

    Windows Server 2008 introduced the feature called RemoteApp, which allows clients to execute individual applications rather than using a terminal desktop. This feature is different from previous versions where users had to access a full remote desktop session to use applications on a remote server. RemoteApp enhances user experience by running only the application they need.
