Which graphics mode should the architect recommend be configured for this specific group?

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. As part of graphics-mode design considerations, the architect discovered that one User Group requires a graphics mode that provides both good performance and high image quality.

Which graphics mode should the architect recommend be configured for this specific group?
A . Visual quality = Build to Lossless
B . Visual quality = Always Lossless
C . Optimize for 3D graphics workload = Disabled
D . Optimize for 3D graphics workload = Enabled

Answer: A

Explanation:

Policy named "Optimize for 3D graphics workload", as per https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/policies/reference/ica-policy-settings/graphics-policy-settings.html#optimize-for-3d-graphics-workload, This setting configures the appropriate default settings that best suit graphically intense workloads. Enable this setting for users whose workload focuses on graphically intense applications. Apply this policy only in cases where a GPU is available to the session. Any other settings that explicitly override the default settings set by this policy take precedence.. As per https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/xenapp-and-xendesktop/7-15-ltsr/policies/reference/ica-policy-settings/visual-display-policy-settings.html, the visual quality policy value build to lossless does the following: "Build to lossless – Sends lossy images to the user device during periods of high network activity and lossless images after network activity reduces; this setting improves performance over bandwidth-constrained network connections". So build to lossless is a best fit for combining performance and image quality
