Why each option

To apply updated settings from a host profile, such as a new password, to all attached hosts, an administrator must remediate the hosts.

ACopy Settings from Host

Copy Settings from Host is used to extract the configuration from a reference host to create or update a host profile, not to apply profile changes to other hosts.

BRemediateCorrect

Remediating a host against a host profile applies the configuration defined in the profile to that host, bringing it into compliance. This action is necessary to enforce the new password on all attached hosts after the host profile has been updated.

CCheck Host Profile Compliance

Check Host Profile Compliance only assesses whether a host conforms to its attached host profile; it does not apply any changes or remediate non-compliant settings.

DEdit Host Customizations

Edit Host Customizations allows for specifying host-specific settings within a profile (like an IP address or hostname), but it does not apply the general profile changes to the hosts.
