Answer: D

Explanation:

When logging in for the first time to a Security Management Server through SmartConsole, a fingerprint is saved to the SmartConsole cache and is available for future Security Management Server authentications.

The SmartConsole cache is a local folder on the client machine that stores temporary files and settings.
