Explanation

Cisco DNA Center Upgrade Explanation

A complete Cisco DNA Center upgrade consists of two mandatory phases: Application Updates (D), which upgrades the individual application packages (such as Assurance, SD-Access, etc.), and System Update (E), which upgrades the core operating platform and infrastructure components that DNA Center runs on. Both steps must be completed together to ensure the platform and its applications are fully and compatibly updated.

The distractors are incorrect because golden image selection (A) relates to device image management for network devices, not the DNA Center upgrade process itself; automation backup (B) is a best practice precaution but is not a required step within the upgrade workflow; and proxy configuration (C) is a network connectivity setting, not part of the upgrade procedure.

Memory Tip: Think of it as upgrading a smartphone - you update the operating system (System Update) AND the apps (Application Updates). If you only do one, the device isn't fully upgraded. "SA" = System + Applications = Complete upgrade.
