Explanation

For a planned maintenance event, the administrator should use a planned failover - not an unplanned one - because the primary site is still operational and workloads can be gracefully migrated with minimal data loss. Conducting a planned failover from the standby site (B) is valid because the standby Prism Central, managing the recovery AHV cluster, can initiate a planned failover once synchronous replication ensures zero RPO. Conducting a planned failover from the primary site (D) is also valid - while the primary is still up, the admin can initiate the failover to gracefully move workloads to the standby site before maintenance begins. On-demand live migration (A) is more commonly used for non-DR, same-network migration. Unplanned failover (C) is reserved for unexpected outages and should not be used for a scheduled maintenance window, as it implies the primary is already down or unreachable.
