B.Freeze all dependency findings at the approval date
C.Continuously reassess dependencies and prioritize affected deployed versions
D.Treat every approved library as exempt from patching

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

Continuously reassess dependencies and prioritize affected deployed versions
