Explanation

The correct two-step migration procedure is: (1) Use 'Import Device Configuration to Panorama' - this pulls the firewall's existing local configuration (objects, policies, network settings) into Panorama and organizes it within the appropriate device group and template. (2) Use 'Export or Push Device Config Bundle' - this pushes the Panorama-managed configuration back to the firewall, establishing Panorama as the authoritative management source. The 'Import Panorama Configuration Snapshot' operation (used in options A and C) is for a different purpose - restoring Panorama's own configuration - and is not the correct starting point for onboarding a standalone firewall.
