A new camera should land on the camera/IoT VLAN, not the user LAN. Disabling unused ports and a vuln scan are good later. A site survey is for wireless coverage, not the first security step on a camera install.
If you see this exact, vaguely worded question on the exam without any extra context, stick with C. Disable unnecessary ports. Why? Because CompTIA strictly defines the day-to-day role of a Technician deploying a device as a hardening task. In CompTIA's official study guides, the standard checklist for installing any new host is: Change default credentials. Disable unneeded ports/services. Update firmware. disable ports to harden the device; use VLANs to protect the network. We are sticking with C for the technician's deployment step.
The correct answer should be "B". If the question was worded as, "A technician is planning to deploy a new camera." Then, yes, by all means, choose "Conduct a site survey." However, the technician is already deploying it, so he has conducted the site survey. Deploying it to me means it is turning it on/going live.
