A developer needs to install a content package on AEM environment. However, a content package with the same name is already installed.
What would you be the safest way for the developer to install the content package to make sure only the changes of the new content package get applied?
The safest way for a developer to install a content package in AEM to ensure only the changes of the new content package get applied is to use the 'Force Upload' option when uploading the new content package. This ensures that the new content overwrites the old content while retaining any existing content that is not present in the new package. Uninstalling the existing package first may lead to loss of content that isn't included in the new package, which is not desirable.
Option A is correct. if you uninstall before new package installation then it will lost the content which is not mentioned in new package so we should use force to upload then we can replace new package data along with old data which is not there in new package.
I always use the option B, is the safety way

I think its option A
A is correct.
Option B is correct. First uninstall then install package
Shouldn't be Option A ?
Option A is correct. Option B will only uninstall the package but will not remove the earlier package. So in either of the case, whether Package is installed or uninstalled (not removed), force upload is required.
My thoughts: B Uninstalling Packages AEM lets you uninstall packages. This action reverts the contents of the repository that are impacted to the snapshot made immediately prior to the package installation. NOTE Upon installation, a snapshot package is created containing the content that will be overwritten. This package will be re-installed when you uninstall the package. https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/administering/contentmanagement/package-manager.html?lang=en#package-share
uninstall creates snapshot (or am I wrong?). Once fresh package installed, snapshot package can be installed. My vote is for B.
B is the correct answer because the question is asking to ensure that only the content from the new package is applied
The question asked specifically for minimal changes, so Option A is right, NOT option B
B is the correct answer
D can't be the correct. Web Console don't have option to install package(.zip).
