Answer: C

Explanation:

When importing a pre-configured firewall configuration to Panorama, you need to perform the following steps12:

✑ Add the serial number of the firewall under Panorama > Managed Devices

✑ In Panorama, import the firewall’s configuration bundle under Panorama > Setup > Operations > Import device configuration to Panorama

✑ Make changes to the imported firewall configuration within Panorama

✑ Commit the changes you made to Panorama

✑ Perform an Export or push Device Config Bundle operation under Panorama > Setup > Operations

The Export or push Device Config Bundle operation allows you to push a complete configuration bundle from Panorama to a managed firewall without duplicating local configurations3. This operation ensures that any local settings on the firewall are preserved and merged with the settings from Panorama.
