Apple School Manager (ASM) is the dedicated portal for educational institutions to manage student devices, staff accounts, and content like apps and books. It supports features like Shared iPad and integration with classroom tools, tailored for education. Apple Business Manager (option A) is for businesses, not schools. Apple Configurator (option B) is a tool for manual device setup, not a management portal. There's no standalone "Managed Apple ID portal" (option D); Managed Apple IDs are managed within ASM. The Apple Platform Deployment Guide specifies ASM for educational device management.
