Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The user is redirected to a temporary guest portal
Why it's wrong here
Duo does not have a guest portal feature for failed health checks.
- ✗
The user is prompted to upgrade the OS manually
Why it's wrong here
While they might be prompted, the request itself is denied by the policy.
- ✗
The user is granted read-only access
Why it's wrong here
Duo does not have granular 'read-only' application logic; it's binary access.
- ✓
The access attempt is blocked by the policy
Why this is correct
Strict policies enforce a 'deny' if the device does not explicitly meet health requirements.
