Answer: A

Explanation:

Option A is the correct order of reloading components during the process of upgrading the EPLDs of the fabric modules for a Cisco MDS director-class switch. The EPLD upgrade is performed on one fabric module at a time, and the fabric module is reloaded after the upgrade. The other fabric modules and the switching platform are not reloaded during the process.
