Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2022 Architect Associate — Question 23

In an Object Storage bucket you have two objects named ObjectA and ObjectB. ObjectA was last modified six months ago and ObjectB was modified 14 months ago. You create a retention rule and specify a duration of 1 year.
What does the rule do?

Answer options

• A. It prevents the modification or deletion of ObjectA for the next 6 months and allows the modification or deletion of ObjectB.
• B. It prevents the modification or deletion of ObjectA for the next 6 months and prevents the modification or deletion of ObjectB for the next 2 months.
• C. It prevents the modification or deletion of ObjectA for the next 12 months and prevents the modification or deletion of ObjectB for the next 14 months.
• D. It prevents the modification or deletion of ObjectA and ObjectB for the next 12 months.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The retention rule with a duration of 1 year applies to both objects, preventing any modifications or deletions for 12 months. Option A and B incorrectly state that ObjectB can be modified or deleted, while option C misinterprets the retention period for ObjectB. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the effect of the retention rule on both objects.
