A is correct. Existing applications are preserved through the process while a clean install using USMT will only retain user settings/profile

Sorry tf444, but you are incorrect. Migapp.xml include application *settings*, it does not install apps. USMT does not have the ability to install apps.

A is correct indeed. With Intune you can do an Edition Uprade from for example Pro to Enterprise but that is for Windows 10 and later. A new Install removes the Apps so A i the only answer that remains possible.

It seems that A might be correct...But wouldn't an in-place upgrade from 8.1Professional bump up the OS to Windows 10 Pro? Did the company just waste 500 Enterprise licenses then? Confused.

Windows 10 pro could be updated to Win 10 ENT after the inplaceUpgrade (with intune for example).

"minimize how long it takes to perform the deployment." The deployment time would be minimized and as Merma mentioned, it can be upgraded later with InTune.
