Explanation

Application virtualization is a technology that encapsulates an application from the underlying operating system, allowing it to run in a self-contained virtual environment. This solves issues like DLL conflicts, registry clashes, and OS dependency problems. Examples include Microsoft App-V and VMware ThinApp. The other options are incorrect: Group Policy is a Windows administration tool for enforcing settings across users/computers; the System Registry is a Windows database storing OS and application configuration data; and 'System control' is not a standard technology in this context.
