I practiced a similar question, and I think updating the /etc/hosts file is usually a later step, not the first one.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like rebooting the nodes might not be necessary right before adding a new one.

I remember something about doing a health check before major changes, so A could be important too.

I think we need to ensure the nodes are synchronized first, so maybe option C is the right choice?
