Explanation

On Dell EMC OS 10 switches (including the MX9116n), the correct CLI command for initiating a firmware update from a TFTP server is install, making B the right choice - this is the native OS 10 syntax for loading and applying a new firmware image from a remote source.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (firmwaredownload) is a Brocade/FOS command used on older Fibre Channel switches, not Dell EMC OS 10.
• C (fwupdate) is not a valid OS 10 CLI command; it may be confused with update utilities on other platforms or operating systems.
• D (upgrade) sounds intuitive but is not the correct OS 10 keyword; it does not exist as a standalone firmware update command in this context.

Memory tip: Think of OS 10 as treating firmware like a software package - you install it, just like you'd install an application. If you remember "OS 10 = install," you'll avoid the trap of guessing platform-specific commands like firmwaredownload (Brocade) or generic-sounding ones like upgrade.
