Why each option
To immediately apply updated computer group policy settings in an Active Directory domain, the GPUpdate tool should be used on the client computer.
Remote Assistance is a feature that allows one user to provide remote technical support to another user's computer, not for applying group policy updates.
The GPUpdate command-line utility is specifically designed to refresh Group Policy settings on a local computer. When executed, it forces the computer to re-evaluate and apply any updated user and computer Group Policy settings from Active Directory, ensuring changes take effect without waiting for the next automatic refresh cycle.
User Logon is an event that triggers Group Policy processing, but it does not proactively force an immediate update of policies if a user is already logged on.
Windows Update is a service used to download and install operating system and application updates, not for refreshing Group Policy settings.
