Why each option

This question asks to identify which activity among the choices is NOT considered a direct system change that impacts security posture.

AInstalling patches outside of the established configuration change control process

Installing patches, especially outside of change control, is a direct modification to a system's software, which is a significant system change.

BInstalling or disposing of hardware

Installing or disposing of hardware directly alters the physical components of a system, constituting a system change.

CMoving to a new facilityCorrect

Moving to a new facility is an operational or environmental change, not a direct system change to the IT systems themselves. While it can impact system security, it is not an alteration of a system's software, hardware, or configuration.

DMaking changes to configuration

Making changes to configuration directly modifies how a system operates and is a fundamental system change.
