A system administrator is merging two lists of server names. The script must combine the lists and remove any duplicate server names, preserving the original order of first occurrence. Which code snippet correctly performs this deduplication while maintaining order?

merged = list1 + list2 merged = [server for server in merged if server not in merged[:merged.index(server)]]

merged = {server: None for server in list1 + list2}.keys()

merged = list(set(list1 + list2))

merged = [] for server in list1 + list2: if server not in merged: merged.append(server)
