What are orphan tokens?

Answer options

• A. Orphan tokens are tokens with a use limit so you can set the number of uses when you create them
• B. Orphan tokens are not children of their parent; therefore, orphan tokens do not expire when their parent does
• C. Orphan tokens are tokens with no policies attached
• D. Orphan tokens do not expire when their own max TTL is reached

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because orphan tokens are independent of their parent tokens, meaning they do not have an expiration linked to the parent. Options A, C, and D describe attributes that do not accurately represent what orphan tokens are, as they focus on use limits, absence of policies, and expiration conditions that do not apply to orphan tokens.
