Explanation

Given that the workstation is periodically powered down during off-hours, automated scheduled updates cannot be reliably triggered since the machine may not be on. Installing updates while the computer is powered down (A) is not possible. Automatic maintenance with a wake schedule (B) requires the computer to support and have configured Wake-on-LAN or scheduled wake, which is not guaranteed here. Downloading updates but letting users choose install time (C) still risks disruption during working hours. Option D - manually checking for updates and letting the user decide when to install - gives the user control over timing, ensuring installation happens at a convenient moment (such as end of day) without disrupting active work sessions. While not fully automated, it is the most reliable approach given the intermittent power state of the workstation.
