Easy way to remember. Anything with "Direct" in it generally refers to using Remote "Direct" Memory Access (RDMA)

I think A(RDMA) is correct. Since VMQ and SR-IOV require virtual machine, you can exclude them.

RDMA: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file-server/smb-direct#requirements 1. At least two computers running Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012 2. One or more network adapters with RDMA capability. (The other proposed options are not even listed there.)
