Explanation

Option A (7.2.6) is correct because IBM's official QRadar 7.3.2 upgrade documentation explicitly states that 7.2.6 is the oldest version from which a direct upgrade to 7.3.2 is supported. Administrators running anything older than 7.2.6 must first perform an intermediate upgrade before reaching 7.3.2.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (7.3.0) and C (7.3.1) are valid source versions but are not the minimum - they are simply later, closer versions that also support a direct upgrade path. The question asks for the minimum (oldest), not any valid version.
• D (7.2.8) is also a valid upgrade source, but again it is a later patch than 7.2.6, making it a higher floor than the actual minimum.

Memory tip: Think of it as a "floor, not a ceiling" question. IBM sets 7.2.6 as the lowest floor you can stand on before jumping to 7.3.2. If you see a version below 7.2.6 (like 7.2.4 or 7.2.5), you'd need a stepping stone first. When exam questions ask for "minimum supported version," always look for the oldest listed option that IBM's documentation supports - here that's 7.2.6.
