The suggested answer is A.

Windows Server Update Services 2.0 and above comprise a repository of update packages from Microsoft. It allows administrators to approve or decline updates before release, to force updates to install by a given date, and to obtain extensive reports on what updates each machine requires. System administrators can also configure WSUS to approve certain classes of updates automatically (critical updates, security updates, service packs, drivers, etc.). One can also approve updates for "detection" only, allowing an administrator to see what machines will require a given update without also installing that update. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_Update_Services

The RemoteApp and Desktop Connections feature offers several benefits:
RemoteApp programs launch from the Start menu just like any other application.
Published Remote Desktop connections are included alongside RemoteApp programs on the Start menu.
Changes to the published connection (such as newly published RemoteApp programs) are automatically reflected on the user's Start menu, without any effort on the user's part.
RemoteApp programs can be easily launched with Windows Search.
Users only have to log on once, to create the connection. From that point on, updates happen with no prompt for user credentials.
RemoteApp and Desktop Connections does not require domain membership for client computers.
RemoteApp and Desktop Connections benefits from new features in Windows Server 2008 R2, such as Personal Desktop assignment or per-user application filtering.
RemoteApp and Desktop Connections is built on standard technologies such as XML and HTTPS, making it possible for developers to build solutions around it. It also offers APIs that allow the client software to support other types of resources, in addition to RemoteApp programs and Remote Desktop connections.
