Answer: C

Explanation:

An acquisition unit is a software component that collects data from various sources and sends it to the BlueXP observability service. It is the first item that should be configured before installing any data collectors or agents. Data collectors are plugins that run on the acquisition unit and collect data from specific sources, such as NetApp ONTAP SVMs. Agents are optional components that can be installed on hosts to collect additional data, such as process and network metrics.
