This answer might be “C. Plan Phase”.
“CCDA Official Exam Certification Guide” by Anthony Bruno, page 14 – 15
Plan phase: identifies the network requirement by characterizing and “assessing” network
Design phase: design network topology to meet requirements and close network gaps identified in the “Plan” phase
But, not sure.
Agreed Keith.
Design phase is ‘actual’ designing rather than evaluating and looking for opportunities as the question states.
I AGree: Answer should be C. Can any body confirm ?.
Should be C.
Plan phase: Successful technology deployment depends on an accurate assessment of a company’s current network, security state, and overall readiness to support the proposed solution.
I agree with you. A lot of sites say Design is the correct anwser, but they don’t justify well, they only copy the piece of information that explains te characteristics of the Design phase. The analysis occurs in the Plan Phase.I think “C” is correct.
