Explanation
Release management governs the end-to-end process of planning, scheduling, testing, authorizing, and deploying new systems or changes into the production environment. It is the discipline specifically designed to mitigate risk during production deployments (D). Configuration management (C) tracks and controls the state of IT assets but does not govern the deployment process itself. Problem management (A) is reactive, addressing root causes of recurring incidents after they occur. Incident management (B) is also reactive, focused on restoring service after disruptions rather than preventing deployment-related failures.
