Of the options given, the following three tasks are required to complete the project:

D. Connect the device to the network: The thin-client computers need to be connected to the network so that they can access the VM. The network could be a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) depending on the lab setup.

G. Connect the device to a monitor: Thin clients typically do not have a built-in monitor, so an external monitor needs to be connected to each thin client so that the user can interact with the VM.

H. Install the necessary applications: The technician needs to install the necessary applications on the VM that will be accessed by the thin clients. These applications could be productivity tools, educational software, or any other software required for the lab setting.

The other options provided are not necessary for setting up thin clients to access a VM:

A. Connect the device to a printer: This option is not required for setting up thin clients to access a VM. If the lab requires printing capabilities, the printer should be connected to the network and configured to allow printing from the VM.

B. Install the operating system: The operating system should already be installed on the VM by the server administrator. The technician only needs to install necessary applications.

C. Install a USB keyboard and mouse: Thin clients typically come with built-in input devices. Additionally, some thin clients may have USB ports to connect external input devices if needed, but this is not a necessary step for setting up thin clients to access a VM.

E. Install the latest system updates: While it is always a good practice to keep the system up-to-date, it is not necessary for setting up thin clients to access a VM.

F. Install the latest device drivers: This option is not necessary for setting up thin clients to access a VM. The necessary drivers for the thin client should already be installed on the client device by the manufacturer.
