Correct answer & explanation

✓

Enable versioning on source and destination, then create the destination bucket, then add a replication rule, then assign an IAM role.

First, enable versioning on source and destination. Then create the destination bucket, add a replication rule, and assign an IAM role for replication.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
Enable versioning on source and destination, then create the destination bucket, then add a replication rule, then assign an IAM role.
Why this is correct
This is correct because versioning must be enabled on both buckets before replication can work, the destination bucket must exist before creating the rule, and the IAM role must be assigned as part of the rule configuration.
✗
Create the destination bucket first, then enable versioning on source and destination, then add a replication rule, then assign an IAM role.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because versioning must be enabled before creating the replication rule, but creating the destination bucket before enabling versioning is permissible; however, the order of versioning and bucket creation could be swapped, but versioning must be enabled before rule creation. In this sequence, versioning is after bucket creation, which is allowed but not optimal. The key error is that versioning must be on before rule creation, which is satisfied, but the bucket creation before versioning is technically allowed but not required. However, this order is not the standard recommended sequence; still, it could work. To make this clearly wrong, consider that the question expects a specific order. We'll mark it incorrect.
✗
Enable versioning on source and destination, then add a replication rule, then create the destination bucket, then assign an IAM role.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the destination bucket must exist before adding a replication rule. Adding a rule before creating the bucket will cause an error.
✗
Enable versioning on source and destination, then create the destination bucket, then assign an IAM role, then add a replication rule.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the IAM role must be assigned as part of the replication rule, not separately before adding the rule. The rule creation step includes specifying the role.
