Explanation

Scheduling regular backups of iApp configurations (B) is the most direct way to ensure continued operation - if an iApp becomes corrupted, misconfigured, or accidentally deleted, a backup allows you to restore it quickly and minimize downtime. Firmware updates (A) address device-level stability but don't specifically protect iApp configurations and can even introduce compatibility issues if untested. Strict Updates mode (C) is an actual iApp feature that locks objects against out-of-band changes, but enabling it is a configuration choice, not an ongoing maintenance activity that ensures survival of the iApp. Log monitoring (D) is reactive - it helps you detect problems after they occur but doesn't protect against configuration loss.

Memory tip: Think of iApps like any critical application - your first line of defense is always a backup. "Maintain = Back it up" maps directly to option B.
