   An administrator is managing a cluster that currently uses vLCM baselines for patch management. The admin wants to transition the cluster to use a vLCM image for more comprehensive lifecycle management. What is a key consideration when making this transition?

   • AThe admin must first upgrade all hosts to the latest ESXi version before attaching an image.
   • BThe admin can attach an image while baselines remain attached; vLCM will use the image for new hosts and baselines for existing hosts.
   • CThe cluster cannot use both baselines and an image simultaneously; the admin must detach baselines before attaching an image.
   • DThe admin must create a new cluster and migrate all hosts to it to use an image.
