Explanation

Patch management is the correct answer. Patch management is the systematic process of acquiring, testing, and deploying software updates (patches) across an organization's systems on a defined schedule. Applying security updates to all workstations simultaneously on the same schedule is a classic example of a centralized patch management policy. Application hardening involves securing an application by reducing its attack surface, while white/black box testing are software testing methodologies unrelated to update deployment.
