The question asks for "hardware and software remain updated". D talks about a configuration monitoring tool, and when I googled that it showed me Puppet, which I work with, and that tool manages the software config. It has nothing to do with hardware. C seems to be the right answer, inventory management. That is where you can see everything and know what is outdated.
A configuration management database (CMDB) is a file -- usually, in the form of a standardized database -- that contains all relevant information about the hardware and software components used in an organization's IT (information technology) services and the relationships between those components.

The most effective way to ensure hardware and software remain updated throughout an organization is to use an automated configuration monitoring system. This system can help to discover and track hardware and software assets, distribute new software and updates, provide help desk support, and retire or migrate outdated assets. An automated configuration monitoring system can also enable automatic updates for all software on the devices, which can reduce security risks and improve performance.
Many organizations use an automated configuration management system (CMS) to
help with hardware asset management. The primary purpose of a CMS is configuration
management, discussed later in this chapter. The CMS needs to connect to hardware systems
when checking configuration settings. While doing so, it verifies that the system is still in the network and turned on
Answer D: If hardware and software are maintained through CMDB, then it will be beneficial to use an automated configuration monitoring tool (if something like that exists). If the question mentioned perform automated vulnerability scans, i would have selected that but they mentioned regular so it may be missed. so selecting automated config monitoring tool.
