I have office 2021 home and business and i am looking to update it with WSUS but i can only see microsoft 365/office 2019/office LTSC
I understand the LTSC is the latest perpetual license , should i choose this option ? and what updates should i approve ? 365 or only LTSC?

According to the above link, there are three methods we could refer to update the Office 2021.
Update Office LTSC 2021 automatically from the Office CDN
If network connectivity and other considerations based on your organizational requirements aren’t an issue, we recommend that you update Office LTSC 2021 automatically from the Office CDN. Updating from the Office CDN is the default, so there’s nothing extra you need to do and it’s an easy way to keep Office LTSC 2021 up to date.
Configure Office LTSC 2021 to get updates from a shared folder from within your internal network
If you don’t want devices installed with Office LTSC 2021 to connect to the Office CDN to get updates, you can configure Office LTSC 2021 to get updates from a shared folder from within your internal network. You still need a least one device to have access to the Office CDN to be able to download the latest version of Office LTSC 2021 to the shared folder on your internal network.
Enterprise software deployment tools(like Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager)
You can also use enterprise software deployment tools, such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, to help you update Office LTSC 2021.
I'm sorry that we couldn't use Microsoft Updates or Windows Server Updates Services (WSUS) to update Office LTSC 2021 right now.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
Best regards,
Rita

Thanks for your posting on Q&A.
According to this link, we could not deploy Office 2021 security updates through WSUS, but we can use Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to help you deploy and manage updates to Office LTSC 2021, including controlling when and from where updates are applied.
In addition, I did synced the Office 2021 updates on my WSUS serverf and I found the following tips:

It seems that there are no updates for several days. May I know the status of the case? Whether the solutions I provided below are helpful or not.
Please let us know if there are any updates or questions. As far as I know, we could not deploy Office 2021 updates through standalone WSUS. But the method 1 and 2 may be helpful.
Thanks for your understanding. Have a great day.
Best regards,
