Explanation

Cisco ASA version 9.2.2 was the first release to introduce support for FirePOWER Services (the SFR module), making C the correct answer. Version 9.1.2 (A) predates FirePOWER integration support entirely - 9.1.x lacked the SFR module architecture. Version 8.6 (B) is even earlier and is simply too old; the 8.x train never supported FirePOWER services. Version 9.4 (D) does support FirePOWER, but it is not the minimum - support was already present in 9.2.2, so 9.4 is a valid but incorrect answer to this specific question.

Memory tip: Think "9.2.2 = FirePOWER begins" - the double-2 at the end mirrors the two-letter combo "FP" (FirePOWER), helping you anchor 9.2.2 as the launch point.
