C Correct answer
Explanation

CD-ROMs should be mounted as read-only using the mount command because they are read-only media and attempting to mount them read-write will fail. Using umount is incorrect (the device isn't mounted yet). Reading installation instructions is good practice, but the technical first step is mounting the device. Read-only mounting is the correct technical approach.
