Why each option

VMM update baselines allow administrators to define and enforce Windows Update compliance directly on managed Hyper-V hosts from within the VMM console.

AVMM update baselinesCorrect

VMM update baselines integrate with Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) to scan, remediate, and enforce patch compliance on Hyper-V hosts managed by System Center 2012 VMM. This provides a targeted, host-aware update mechanism without requiring a separate Configuration Manager infrastructure. It is the most direct and purpose-built solution for keeping Hyper-V hosts patched within the VMM management scope.

BSystem Center 2012 Service Manager workflows

Service Manager workflows are designed for ITSM process automation such as incident or change management, not for deploying Windows updates to Hyper-V hosts.

CConfiguration Manager auto deployment rules

Configuration Manager auto deployment rules can manage updates but require a full ConfigMgr infrastructure and client deployment on each host, making it less efficient than VMM baselines for Hyper-V-specific patching.

DSystem Center 2012 Orchestrator runbooks

Orchestrator runbooks automate multi-step processes across System Center components but are not a native patch management solution and would require significant custom development.
