It says, "BEFORE moving any installation packages from a test environment to production." Don't you verify hashes after moving the packages? You would generate hashes before moving. Then verify after moving.

Download packages, verify hash. Test. Verify hashes before moving. If you want you could check hashes again after moving

Selected Answer: D
B is incorrect, because question says before "moving" not before "installation". hash check applies for files located on different systems, this means the files have been moved. so B does not sound correct

none of these makes sense, hashes are checked for files between different systems. if true - this means the files have already been moved to the prod.

B - verify the checksums as you first need to generate those to be able to move the files and verify the file integrity on the production system

Baselines would be updated pre-production something like during a staging or QA testing phase when their is code freeze.

Answer is D. Before deploying any installation files you should always update security... Verifying hashes should be the last step before installation.

I believe that the question is asking what is the last thing you do before moving the files over to production environment. You would have already updated the baseline, because you can assume the files integrity in test environment, but in their move to production it is necessary to assure they are the right packages.
