C is correct.

Sorry I mean 24h for threshold

In my last cooment I made reference to this link https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-1/pan-os-upgrade/software-and-content-updates/best-practices-for-app-and-threat-content-updates/best-practices-mission-critical#id184AH00L078

This is a tricky question, because is asking about the recommended update interval which following Palo Alto recommendations is 30min to then set the threshold for up to 48h Antivirus updates are released every 24 hours, a lower time recurrence ensures the FW is equipped with the latest updates. according to this link PA recommends update interval of 30min and install threshold of 48h

B recommended by PA so the FW can try again the same day in case of a failed update. Otherwise it would wait until the next day.

C is correct. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/11-1/pan-os-upgrade/software-and-content-updates/best-practices-for-app-and-threat-content-updates#id1791B0X06AS According to the link. Mission critical approach doesn't like to update fast in order to not cause any down time with application changes.
