Explanation
PMBOK distinguishes between several types of corrective actions: Preventive action eliminates the cause of a potential nonconformance before it occurs. Corrective action addresses a nonconforming process or situation (bringing performance back in line). Defect repair is the specific intentional activity of modifying a nonconforming product or product component - i.e., fixing something that was built incorrectly or doesn't meet requirements. Updates refer to changes to formally controlled documentation. Since the question focuses on modifying a product (not a process), 'Defect repair' is the precise term.
