Why each option

Workflows, being configurations and business logic, are transferred between ServiceNow instances primarily through the use of Update Sets.

AWorkflows are moved using Update SetsCorrect

Update Sets capture configuration changes made to the platform, including the design and logic of Workflows. By committing an Update Set from a development instance to a test or production instance, the Workflow definition is deployed to the new environment.

BWorkflows are moved using Transform Maps

Transform Maps are used for importing external data into ServiceNow tables, not for moving configurations like Workflows.

CWorkflows are moved using Application Sets

There is no standard ServiceNow feature called 'Application Sets' for moving workflows.

DWorkflows cannot be moved between instances

Workflows are designed to be moved between instances using Update Sets to facilitate development and deployment lifecycles.
