Why each option

Slipstreaming is the process of integrating a service pack directly into OS installation media so both install simultaneously in a single pass.

ASynchronous Update

Synchronous Update is not a recognized technical term for merging a service pack into OS installation media.

BSlipstreamingCorrect

Slipstreaming merges a service pack into the original OS installation source files, allowing the operating system and the service pack to be installed together in one operation without a separate post-install update step. This reduces deployment time and ensures the system is fully patched from first boot.

CSimultaneous Update

Simultaneous Update is not a defined term for this procedure and does not describe the concept of pre-integrating a service pack into the installation source.

DSynchronizing

Synchronizing refers to keeping data or systems aligned over time and does not describe merging a service pack into OS installation media.
