Suggested Answer:
IT admins have the option to test and validate production-quality releases ahead of the planned B release for the following month. These updates are optional, cumulative, non-security preview releases known as C releases. These releases are only offered to the most recent, supported versions of Windows.
Incorrect:
* Non-security releases

Quality updates -
Quality updates are provided on a monthly schedule, as two types of releases:
1. Non-security releases
2. Combined security + non-security releases
Non-security releases provide IT admins an opportunity for early validation of that content prior to the combined release. Releases can also be provided outside of the monthly schedule when there is an exceptional need.
* OOB releases
Out-of-band (OOB) releases might be provided to fix a recently identified issue or vulnerability. They are used in atypical cases when an issue is detected and cannot wait for the next monthly release, because devices must be updated immediately to address security vulnerabilities or to resolve a quality issue impacting many devices.
* B releases
Most people are familiar with what is commonly referred to as Patch Tuesday or Update Tuesday.ג€‰These updates are released on the second Tuesday of each month, and are known as theג€‰B release (where ג€Bג€ג€‰refers to the second week in the month). B releases are typically published at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (PST/
PDT).
Because they are cumulative, B releases include both new and previously released security fixes, along with non-security content introduced in the prior month's
Preview C release (see the next section). These updates help keep Windows devices secure and compliant by deploying stability fixes and addressing security vulnerabilities. B releases are mandatory.

Windows hardly use C release. Nowadays they called it D release. So B releases that release every 2nd Tuesday of a month is a security update. Meanwhile D releases that release every 4th Tuesday of a month is an optional non security update preview. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/release-cycle#types-of-update-releases

I think "Optional nonsecurity preview release" used to be called C-release & Non-security releases isn't a thing. Types of update releases: Monthly security update release, Optional nonsecurity preview release, OOB releases, Annual feature updates & Continuous innovation for Windows 11.
