A.

I think it is B) from the CheckPoint Definition only Backup utility backs up networking / OS system parameters and not the export / import scripts.
1) upgrade_export and upgrade_import
‘upgrade_export’ tool backs up all Check Point configurations, independent of hardware, OS or Check Point version, but does not include OS information.
You can use this utility to backup Check Point configuration on the management station.
If you change the Check Point version you can only go up, in other words you can upgrade not downgrade.
The file will be much smaller (depending on the size of your policy), and if the system is not running on a highly loaded CPU, you can do a backup on a live system without interruption of the services.
2) Backup
The SecurePlatform backup utility described below backs up your Check Point configuration and your networking/OS system parameters (such as routing) .
The backup utility can be used to backup both your firewall and management modules.
The resulting file will be smaller than the one generated by snapshot, but still pretty big.
Backup does not include the drivers, and can be restored to different machine (as opposed to snapshot, which cannot). However, it is recommended using the backup for restore to the same machine since it includes information such as MAC addresses of the NIC interfaces. (Note: Since MAC address gets restored as well, customers should be advised prior to restoring to make a note of original MAC on the new box, so it can be changed later on.)
You only can restore it to the same OS, same Check Point version and patch level.
Note: Gaia’s Backup feature allows backing up the configuration of the Gaia OS and of the Security Management server database, or restoring a previously saved configuration. See sk91400 (How to Backup and Restore in Gaia).

It must be D, as I don’t see the syntax in GAIA, so no longer support on gaia

I agree with D being the correct answer. ‘upgrade_export’ and ‘upgrade_import’ have been replaced by the ‘migrate’ utility.
