Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Delete the table directly from the Tables and Columns module without checking for records.
Why it's wrong here
Deleting a table with active records or references can cause system instability and data loss.

Deactivate all identification rules and leave the table orphaned.
Why it's wrong here
Leaving orphaned tables and classes degrades CMDB integrity and performance.
- ✗
Rename the table name prefix to 'z_deprecated_' directly in the dictionary.
Why it's wrong here
Renaming table names in the dictionary does not correctly update system references or class registrations.

Use the CI Class Manager to deprecate or safely review dependent records and rules before taking action.
Why this is correct
The CI Class Manager helps administrators assess the impact of deprecating a class by checking for existing records and identification rules.
