Selected Answer: C
While following system hardening standards (option D) is an important aspect of maintaining application security, it is a specific subset within the broader framework of configuration management. Ensuring proper change control is foundational to maintaining the integrity, reliability, and security of applications over time, making it the primary reason for implementing a configuration management process.

C. To ensure proper change control Configuration management processes help ensure that changes made to applications are controlled, documented, and implemented in a systematic manner. This helps maintain the stability, reliability, and security of the applications while minimizing the risk of unintended consequences from changes. While optimization of system resources (Option A), asset management workflows (Option B), and adherence to system hardening standards (Option D) are important aspects, they are secondary to the core objective of ensuring proper change control in the configuration management process.
