I vaguely recall something about activating Custom Lightning Web Components, but I can't remember if that should be done before or after the migration.

I remember a practice question where we had to consider backups before any upgrades, so I feel like option C might be the right choice here.

I think taking a backup of the customized older ASM components is really important, but I'm not sure if that's the only step we should focus on.

I’m leaning towards option A, but I wonder if we should also be concerned about any customizations we made to the older version.

I feel like option C makes the most sense, but I also recall a practice question where we had to consider backups of new components too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about needing to activate new features after migration. Is that what option D is about?

I think we should definitely take a backup of the older ASM components first, just in case something goes wrong during the upgrade.
