--explanation--

The preposition on can have many meanings, but in this task, it should be used to show the subject or topic being discussed or worked on.

Working on the new software update means the team is focusing their effort and attention on that specific project or topic.

Other sentences use on to show time (on the weekend, on time) or place/device (on his computer), which are different uses.
