Explanation:
similiar to EXAM C Q 1

the key here is minimize effort & Remote Desktop Services.
Server Core wouldn’t allow remote desktop services as it has no GUI so that would rule out answer A
you also cant upgrade from Core to Full see http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/tips/can-i-upgrade-from-server-core-2008-to-the-full-windows-server-2008- or http://serverfault.com/questions/92523/upgrade-from-windows-2008-server-core-to-full-windows-2008-server
upgrade considerations for Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008

You can use the Server Core installation option only by performing a clean installation.
You cannot upgrade from earlier versions of Windows to Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008.
You cannot upgrade from non-Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008 to Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008.
You cannot convert Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008 to non-Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008.
You can upgrade Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008 only to Windows Server Core R2 when it is released.
Answer C is possible but again you’re asked to minimize effort so D would be 1 step less thus reducing your effort and possible down time.
