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 previous version is permanently deleted, but the delete marker remains.

The lifecycle rule expires noncurrent versions after 30 days. Deleting the object creates a delete marker (current version) and the previous version becomes noncurrent. After 30 days, the noncurrent version is permanently deleted, but the delete marker remains. Option A is wrong because the delete marker is not permanently deleted. Option B is wrong because the delete marker is not removed and the object does not become current again. Option C is wrong because only the noncurrent version is permanently deleted, not the delete marker.
