Universal Containers (UC) is preparing a major project release and is using the environments shown in the following diagram.

The release is scheduled for deployment over a weekend, one week after Salesforce updates the production environment (for example, from Winter to Spring). UC has determined that refreshing a full sandbox can require several days.

What optimal deployment plan should the Architect recommend?

Explanation

A release-preview sandbox is upgraded approximately six weeks before production, allowing Staging to be on the upcoming Salesforce version and to receive the deployment before the production upgrade. Refreshing a full sandbox near go-live risks an incomplete copy and, once the preview cutoff has passed, cannot place the sandbox on the preview release. Deploying to Staging one week before go-live and promoting the validated deployment to Production at go-live avoids that timing risk.
