Answer: D

Explanation:

Installing and Publishing

It is important to understand the differences between publishing and installing.

You must do this:

After you did this:

Publish

Opened a session in SmartConsole and made changes.

The Publish operation sends all SmartConsole modifications to other administrators, and makes the changes you made in a private session public. Install the database

Modified network objects, such as servers, users, services, or IPS profiles, but not the Rule Base.

Updates are installed on management servers and log servers.

Install a policy

Changed the Rule Base.

The Security Management Server installs the updated policy and the entire database on Security Gateways (even if you did not modify any network objects).
