Selected Answer: B

A non-persistent VDI with thin clients centralizes management and data storage, addressing high staff turnover (easy onboarding/offboarding), physical endpoint damage (replace cheap thin clients easily), downtime minimization (quick restoration) and data retention (data stays in the secure Data Center). The other options address individual issues but not the full set of considerations as effectively as this option.
