An IT technician needs to provide remote assistance to a user with a computer running a Linux operating system. The technician, using a Windows computer, needs to view and interact with the user's graphical desktop. Which of the following remote access tools is specifically designed to be platform-independent for graphical desktop sharing?
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a graphical desktop-sharing system that is platform-independent, allowing a technician to remotely control a Linux machine from a Windows PC, or vice versa. RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is primarily associated with Windows environments, and its server component is not natively available on Linux. Microsoft Remote Assistance (MSRA) is a feature specific to the Windows operating system. SSH (Secure Shell) is typically used for command-line access, not for sharing a full graphical desktop environment by default.
