Explanation
Scanning is the active process of probing systems, networks, or applications to discover and identify vulnerabilities. It is the discovery phase of vulnerability management, typically performed using automated tools that test for known weaknesses. Assessment (B) is a broader, higher-level evaluation that may include scanning but also involves analysis, context, and risk interpretation. Remediation (C) is the process of fixing or mitigating vulnerabilities after they have been discovered. Prioritization (D) is the process of ranking discovered vulnerabilities by severity, exploitability, or business impact to determine which should be addressed first.
