You deploy Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 in your company network to provide an identity management solution between Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and an HR application. You create…
The correct answer is B. Delta Import and Delta Synchronization. To synchronize only new changes in FIM 2010, the Management Agent must be configured with a Delta Import step to retrieve changed objects and a Delta Synchronization step to process only those new changes.

Why each option
To synchronize only new changes in FIM 2010, the Management Agent must be configured with a Delta Import step to retrieve changed objects and a Delta Synchronization step to process only those new changes.
Full Import and Full Synchronization would process all objects in the connected data source and connector space, not just new changes, making it inefficient for daily incremental updates.
A Delta Import operation retrieves only new or changed objects from the connected data source into the connector space, and a subsequent Delta Synchronization operation processes only those objects with pending changes in the connector space, thereby ensuring only new changes are synchronized.
Full Import would bring in all objects, violating the requirement to synchronize only new changes, even if followed by a Delta Synchronization.
While Delta Import brings in new changes, Full Synchronization would re-evaluate and process all objects in the connector space, which goes against the goal of synchronizing only the new deltas.
Delta Import (Stage only) followed by Delta Synchronization accurately describes the process, but 'Delta Import and Delta Synchronization' (Option B) is the standard and more fundamental way to refer to the combined run profile operations needed to achieve the stated goal efficiently.
