Correct Answer: C
Explanation
According to the ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management documents, a hardware asset's lifecycle consists of the following stages: Procure, Receive, Deploy, Maintain, and Dispose1. These stages correspond to the options A, D, and E in the question. The option B, Request, is also a valid stage in the hardware asset management process, as it involves identifying the hardware needs and initiating the procurement process2.
However, the option C, Consume, is not a component of a hardware asset's lifecycle, as it is not mentioned in the ServiceNow documents. Consume is more relevant to software assets, which are used or consumed by end-users or applications3. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Consume. References:
