How does an administrator schedule an Applications and Threats dynamic update while delaying installation of the update for a certain amount of time?

The correct answer is D. Configure the option for "Threshold". Schedule content updates so that they download-and-install automatically. Then, set a Threshold that determines the amount of time the firewall waits before installing the latest content. In a mission-critical network, schedule up to a 48 hour threshold. https://docs.paloaltonetw
