You have a System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1 (SP1) deployment that
contains 8,000 client computers.
When a custom application named App1.exe is installed on a computer, a registry value of
App1=TRUE is added to the registry. App1 is installed on approximately half of the computers.
You need to recommend a solution for creating a collection named Collection1 that contains only
computers on which App1.exe is installed. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you include in the recommendation?
A.
a collection that has a direct membership rule
B.
a configuration item
C.
the custom client device settings
D.
a software category
Explanation:
Membership rule of the direct rule type let you choose the users or computers that you want to add
as members to a collection. This rule gives you direct control over which resources are members of
the collection. This membership does not change unless a resource is removed from Configuration
Manager. Configuration Manager must have discovered the resources or you must have imported
the resources before you can add them to a direct rule collection. Direct rule collections have a
higher administrative overhead than query rule collections because you must make changes to this
collection type manually.How to Create Collections in Configuration Manager

I believe it´s B: Configuration Item.
You can create a Configuration Item to search for this Registry Key and then filter a collection by “Configuration Item Compliance State”.
“A” can’t be since “Configuration Item Compliance State” is not available for chosing in a Direct Membership rule.

Agree, A would be extremely high admin time spent on. B sounds best (if there were a query based collection option that would win)
