AConfiguration managementCorrect

Configuration management (CM) is a systems engineering process for establishing and maintaining consistency of a product's performance, functional, and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its life. This definition precisely matches the question's description.

BRisk management

CChange management
