Prisma Cloud Compute components are designed to be backward compatible. Defenders and the twistcli command-line tool are compatible with a Console that is on a newer version, within a supported window (typically one major release). In this scenario, the Console is one major release ahead of the Defenders and twistcli. This falls within the supported backward compatibility range, meaning both the Defenders and twistcli will continue to function correctly and communicate with the upgraded Console.

A. Defenders will disconnect, and Twistcli will stop working: This is incorrect because of the backward compatibility support for one major version difference.

B. Defenders will disconnect, and Twistcli will remain working: This is incorrect. Both components follow the same backward compatibility policy and will remain working.

D. Defenders will remain connected, and Twistcli will stop working: This is incorrect. Both components follow the same backward compatibility policy and will remain working.
