What is a step in the SAML SSO process?

Option A fits because in SAML, the IdP sends the SAML response (with assertion) back to the browser, which then forwards it to the SP. Pretty sure that's the right sequence here. If anyone disagrees let me know.
A , since the real SAML SSO step is when the IdP redirects the SAML response (containing the assertion) back to the browser. D trips people up, but that's more about starting the flow than an actual SAML assertion step. Pretty sure from exam reports.
A matches the core SAML step since the IdP redirects the SAML response containing the assertion to the browser. The others are just early parts of the flow or aren't SAML. Saw this in a few practice tests, pretty confident in A but open if someone sees it differently.
Maybe C here. On some labs, I've seen the SP kick off SAML by giving an auth challenge to the browser first, before anything with IdP. Could be wrong but that's how I remember it from the official guide. Anyone else use practice exams for this topic?

D tbh, since the browser can POST to the IdP when initiating login. Feels like a legit SAML step, even if A is key for assertion. Not 100% sure, but D's easy to mix up here.
I don’t think it’s D. A is right since the IdP sends the SAML response to the browser after authentication, which is a core part of SAML SSO. D is more like an initial request, not the key SAML step. Pretty sure about this from similar exam questions, but open to corrections if I’m missing something.
Always Cisco exams use slightly weird wording for SAML steps. A
Is the focus on the initial SSO login flow or specifically after authentication is successful? That could shift between A and D.
