Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Set the Check type to 'Exists' and provide the full file path.
Why this is correct
The 'Exists' check is the standard method for verifying file presence as a compliance condition.
- ✗
Set the Check type to 'Status' and provide the service name.
Why it's wrong here
Status checks are for services, not for files.
- ✗
Set the Check type to 'Registry' and provide the key path.
Why it's wrong here
Registry checks are distinct from file system checks.
- ✗
Set the Check type to 'Version' and provide the file size.
Why it's wrong here
Version checks look at metadata, not just the existence of the file.
- ✗
Set the Check type to 'Content' and provide the file hash.
Why it's wrong here
The content check verifies the file contents or hash, which is more stringent than a simple existence check.
