   A company is implementing a major database upgrade that is expected to take six hours. The change plan includes a rollback procedure that involves restoring a full backup, which is estimated to take four hours. The change window is only eight hours.

What is the most appropriate action?

   • APerform the upgrade and, if it fails, leave the system down until the next maintenance window.
   • BExtend the change window to allow enough time for both the upgrade and the rollback.
   • CCancel the change and do not perform the upgrade.
