You want to import and deploy a bundle on a target environment.In which given scenario will the deployment be successful?

• A. The source is at a higher version and the target is at a lower version.
• B. The source is at the same version as the target.
• C. The source is at a lower version and the target is at a higher version.
• D. Version does not matter for deployment.

Answer: (C)

Version compatibility governs whether a bundle can be imported and deployed. You can think of it as an upgrade path: the target environment should be able to accommodate and upgrade to the bundle’s components without losing support for newer runtime features. Deploying a bundle built for a newer version into a target that runs an older version is not supported because the older environment cannot understand the newer features or metadata. Conversely, bringing a bundle from a lower version into a higher-version target is supported, since the newer runtime can apply the necessary upgrade steps to incorporate the bundle. That’s why the scenario where the source is at a lower version and the target is at a higher version results in a successful deployment. The other scenarios involve downgrading or lack an upgrade path, which is not permitted.
