Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it ensures that the failed host is properly removed before introducing the new host, preventing any conflicts. Options A and B incorrectly place the addition of the new host before decommissioning, which could lead to issues in the cluster. Option D also incorrectly adds the host before its network configuration is established.
