Explanation

A Data Retention Policy (C) is required when decommissioning an application server. The most critical concern when taking a server out of service is what happens to the data it hosted: how long must records be kept for legal, regulatory, or business purposes, and how must data be securely disposed of once the retention period has passed. A data retention policy defines these rules. A De-provisioning policy (B) addresses the technical steps to remove a server from service but is a procedural document, not the primary policy concern. A Backup policy (A) is about preserving data during active operation. A Provisioning policy (D) applies to bringing a new server online. The data's lifecycle and proper destruction are the core concern at end-of-life.
