The first part of the question is an un-necessary filler.
The core question is: Which of the following would allow the security administrator TO TEST THE LACK OF SECURITY CONTROLS for those applications with the LEAST IMPACT TO the system?
So TO TEST THE LACK OF SECURITY CONTROLS with the LEAST IMPACT TO the System is done by a VULNERABILITY SCAN ( Passive in Nature)
A PENETRATION TEST is ACTIVE in nature, and it does have an impact in the system
