Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 436

What is the correct order of the phases of the data life cycle?

Answer options

• A. Create, Use, Store, Share, Archive, Destroy
• B. Create, Archive, Store, Share, Use, Destroy
• C. Create, Store, Use, Archive, Share, Destroy
• D. Create, Store, Use, Share, Archive, Destroy

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it accurately reflects the standard phases of the data life cycle, starting with creation and ending with destruction. The other options misplace the order of the phases, such as placing 'Archive' before 'Share' or 'Use', which is not consistent with the typical process.
