Explanation

Regularly applying security patches and updates (A) is a fundamental best practice for securing web applications. Software vulnerabilities are constantly being discovered, and vendors release patches to address them. Failing to apply these updates leaves known vulnerabilities open to exploitation. The other options represent serious security failures: allowing unvalidated file uploads can lead to malware injection or remote code execution, and weak passwords make administrative accounts trivially easy to compromise.
