Explanation

Option B is correct because Backup Cluster Configuration (Task 1) maps to Purpose B - preserving the current cluster state so it can be restored if the upgrade fails. This is a foundational pre-upgrade step: before any changes are made, you protect your configuration data to enable rollback and recovery.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A ("Maintain cluster stability during upgrades") describes the purpose of Task 2 - Verify Cluster Health, not Backup. Verifying health ensures no pre-existing issues destabilize the cluster mid-upgrade.
• C and D propose incorrect task-to-purpose pairings for Task 1; backing up configuration is specifically about data protection and recoverability, not monitoring or metadata operations.

Memory tip: Think of the upgrade sequence as B-V-U-M - Backup first (protect), Verify health (confirm readiness), Upgrade components (execute), Monitor progress (validate). Task 1 always pairs with the "safety net" purpose because you back up before you touch anything.
