Question
A server technician has received reports of database update errors. The technician checks the server logs and determines the database is experiencing synchronization errors. To attempt to correct the errors, the technician should FIRST ensure:
Options
- Athe correct firewall zone is active
- Bthe latest firmware was applied
- CNTP is running on the database system
- Dthe correct dependencies are installed

Explanation
Database synchronization-whether between replicas, clustered nodes, or distributed systems-relies heavily on consistent, accurate timestamps across all participating servers. If the system clock is skewed or unsynchronized, transactions can appear out of order, conflict detection fails, and replication breaks. The first thing to verify is that NTP (Network Time Protocol) is running and synchronizing the clock correctly. Firewall zone configuration (A) affects network access but would not cause sync errors on an already-communicating database. Applying latest firmware (B) is a maintenance task, not a targeted fix for sync errors. Checking dependencies (D) is valid for application errors but is not the first step when sync timing issues are the identified symptom.
