Static application security testing - I'm not super familiar with the terminology, but I think it has to do with analyzing the code for vulnerabilities. I'll try to reason through the options and pick the one that best fits the description.

Okay, SAST - I've got this. It's the type of security testing that analyzes the application code without actually running the app. I'll explain how that differs from dynamic testing approaches.
