Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
All policies run simultaneously in parallel.
Why it's wrong here
EEM executes policies sequentially, not in parallel.
- ✗
Only the first registered policy runs.
Why it's wrong here
All registered policies run, ordered by priority and then name.
- ✓
Policies run in order of priority (lower number = higher priority), then alphabetically by name.
Why this is correct
Priority is the primary sort; ties are broken by policy name.
- ✗
Policies run in reverse order of registration.
Why it's wrong here
Registration order is not used; priority and name determine execution order.
