Explanation

CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) is purpose-built to continuously scan cloud environments for misconfigurations - things like publicly exposed S3 buckets, overly permissive IAM roles, or unencrypted storage - that attackers exploit to access sensitive data. Runtime Protection (B) monitors running workloads and containers for active threats like malware or exploits, but it doesn't assess cloud configuration settings. Fusion Workflows (C) is CrowdStrike's automation and orchestration engine for chaining security actions together, not a detection mechanism for misconfigurations. Sensor Update Policy (D) controls how and when the Falcon sensor software is updated on endpoints - entirely unrelated to cloud posture.

Memory tip: Think of CSPM as a "cloud inspector" - it audits the setup of your cloud, while Runtime Protection watches what's running inside it. If the question involves configuration, compliance, or exposure risk in cloud services, CSPM is almost always the answer.
