The feature of macOS Recovery that you should use to transfer files from a Mac with Apple silicon is Share Disk. This feature allows a Mac to act as a disk for another Mac, making it possible to access and transfer files between the two systems. When using Share Disk, the Mac in recovery mode can utilize its storage to share files over a network, effectively facilitating the transfer process.

This method is particularly useful in scenarios where direct access to the system's files is necessary, such as when the standard boot process is compromised or when the system can't be booted normally. It streamlines the process of accessing files without the need for an additional setup.

In contrast, while Disk Utility is primarily used for disk management tasks such as formatting and partitioning drives, it does not facilitate file transfers. Similarly, Share Files typically pertains to sharing files over the network from an operational macOS environment and is not applicable in recovery mode. Target Disk Mode is a feature that allows one Mac to appear as an external drive for another Mac, but specific to Intel-based Macs rather than those with Apple silicon, thus making it less relevant for this context.
