Which type of update is specifically designed to fix severe bugs on a rapid schedule?

Patch
Version Update
Hotfix
Rollback

The correct answer is: Hotfix

A hotfix is specifically designed to address and resolve severe bugs or vulnerabilities in a software application quickly. This approach allows developers to fix critical issues without having to wait for a more comprehensive update or release cycle. The primary intention behind a hotfix is to mitigate high-impact problems that can disrupt operations or compromise security. In contrast, patches are more general updates that may include enhancements, security fixes, or bug resolutions but are not exclusively aimed at severe issues. Version updates represent a broader release of software that may significantly change its functionality or add new features. Rollbacks, on the other hand, refer to reverting to a previous version of software in order to avoid issues introduced by an update. These terms highlight different aspects of software maintenance, but hotfixes stand out for their immediate focus on serious problems.
