Answer: B

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because it describes the security policy installation flow for a Maestro

Security Group. The SMO Master is the Security Group Member that acts as the leader and the single point of contact for the Management Server. The SMO Master verifies the policy and installs it first, then notifies the other SGMs that a new policy is available. The other SGMs fetch the policy from the SMO Master and install it in parallel.
