How often does Google release security updates? Select the correct answer, then submit.

Google releases security updates for Android devices monthly, typically within the first week of each month. This regular schedule, often referred to as the "30-day" cycle, ensures that newly discovered vulnerabilities are patched promptly. While major software updates (like new Android versions) might include security fixes, the dedicated monthly security updates address ongoing threats. Releasing updates only when an exploit is found would leave devices vulnerable for extended periods, and quarterly or annual updates would be insufficient to maintain robust security against rapidly evolving threats.
