What is the recommended upgrade path procedure from PAN-OS 10.1 to 11.0.x?
The correct upgrade path from PAN-OS 10.1 to 11.0.x takes advantage of the Skip Software Version Upgrade feature, which allows for upgrading directly from PAN-OS 10.1 to PAN-OS 11.0.x. Therefore, while it is optional to install the latest preferred PAN-OS 10.1 maintenance release and the latest preferred PAN-OS 10.2 maintenance release, the necessary steps include downloading PAN-OS 11.0.0 and then the desired PAN-OS 11.0.x version.

Not sure to be honest! https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/11-0/pan-os-upgrade/upgrade-pan-os/upgrade-the-firewall-pan-os/determine-the-upgrade-path#id85bdf6f4-2e83-49f0-8525-3eb2163f2d2e You can now use the Skip Software Version Upgrade feature to skip software versions when upgrading your device from PAN-OS 10.1 or later releases. If you are already running a PAN-OS 10.1 release, you can upgrade directly to PAN-OS 11.0. So none of these answers fit. B might be the closest I suppose.
Correction B not D 10.1.x You can now use the Skip Software Version Upgrade feature to skip software versions when upgrading your device from PAN-OS 10.1 or later releases. If you are already running a PAN-OS 10.1 release, you can upgrade directly to PAN-OS 11.0
D 10.1.x You can now use the Skip Software Version Upgrade feature to skip software versions when upgrading your device from PAN-OS 10.1 or later releases. If you are already running a PAN-OS 10.1 release, you can upgrade directly to PAN-OS 11.0
B is correct
D seems as the best option, if it weren't for the fact that B says that installing the latest 10.1.X is optional, as it is the only one that says it and that is true. This makes B the simplest option and the only correct one, as it allows you to skip an upgrade to that most recent 10.1.X. My only fear when selecting B as an answer is the fact that it doesn't mention downloading 10.2.0, but I guess it is implied in installing it... Or isn't it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
B, thanks to "Skip Software Version Upgrade". Remember to always read the determine upgrade path document.
On the 1/23/24 exam
Yep Def B, didn't see the optional at first, so you can simply go from 10.1 to 11.0.x
Answer is B
