• D

Explanation

Identifying the components (D) is the correct first step because you cannot plan or execute a deployment without first understanding what PowerProtect Data Manager consists of - its protection engines, agents, storage units, and management server. This discovery phase establishes the scope and dependencies of the entire deployment.

• A (Configuring backup policies) is a late-stage task that only makes sense after the system is installed and operational.
• B (Installing the software) comes after you've identified components and assessed your environment - you need to know what to install before you install it.
• C (Assessing network infrastructure) is important but happens after you know which components you'll be deploying, since the network requirements depend on what you're connecting.

Memory tip: Think of it as "blueprint before bricks" - you must identify all the pieces of the puzzle (D) before you can figure out where they go or how to connect them. The sequence flows: Identify → Assess → Install → Configure.
