Which action is not part of configuration management?

A.
Submitting a formal request

B.
Operating system configuration and settings

C.
Hardware configuration

D.
Application settings and configuration

Explanation:
A: Submitting a formal request would fall under the change control umbrella. Most environments have a change control process that dictates how all changes will be handled, approved, and tested. Once the change is approved, there needs to be something in place to make sure the actual configurations implemented to carry out this change take place properly. This is the job of configuration management.
