Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Line-of-business app (macOS)
For custom or internal applications packaged as .pkg files on macOS, the 'Line-of-business app (macOS)' type is the correct choice in Microsoft Intune.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This option is specific to .DMG disk image files, not .pkg installer packages.
- B. This is for deploying the Microsoft Office suite, not custom .pkg files.
- C. This is for deploying shortcuts to web pages, not installing applications.
