The correct answer is 'Desktop management software' because it is designed to manage and maintain desktop environments remotely, including the deployment of software updates across multiple workstations efficiently. Desktop management software usually includes tools for automating common administrative tasks such as updates, software installation, and configuration changes. 'Remote desktop software' typically provides remote control of a single computer for interactive use, but is not designed for silent software deployments. 'Network monitoring software' is used to monitor and analyze network traffic and performance, not for the deployment of software. 'Anti-virus software' provides protection against malware and is not designed for the administration or updating of multiple systems.
