Windows 11 comes with a refreshed desktop-style/user interface that can upgrade from Windows 10 with the in-place upgrade feature. What additional feature would an expanding business user gain when upgrading from Windows 10 Home to Windows 11 Pro for Workstations?

~Task scheduling

~Domain access/Centralized management

~You Were Unsure and incorrect

-Domain access/Centralized management
Windows Home editions come with networking limited to workgroup networks. So, upgrading from Window Home to Pro for Workstations enables domain networking; centralized management is unavailable in workgroup networking.

The Device Manager allows administrators to view, edit, and troubleshoot the properties of installed hardware, update drivers, and remove or disable devices. It is available in all Windows editions.

The Windows Task Scheduler is available in all editions of Windows. It runs commands and scripts automatically on a predefined schedule. The user can schedule the tasks to run once or on a recurring schedule.

The Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack is available in the Windows Enterprise edition, providing management and monitoring features. Unfortunately, it does not come with Windows Pro editions.
