Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The first key (1234abcd-...)
(the first key) is correct because automatic annual rotation is only configurable for customer managed keys. The first key is customer managed, allowing the user to enable or disable automatic rotation with a specified frequency (e.g., annually). The second key is AWS managed, which rotates automatically every three years without user configuration, so its rotation cannot be enabled or disabled by the user. Options A and B are incorrect because the second key (AWS managed) does not support user-controlled automatic rotation, and both keys cannot have rotation configured independently. Option C is incorrect because the first key (customer managed) does support automatic annual rotation.
