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
✓
Continuous replication
Continuous replication ensures data is replicated with minimal lag, typically meeting a 15-minute RPO. Snapshot-based replication would have longer intervals.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Hourly snapshot-based replication
Why it's wrong here
Hourly snaps still provide RPO of up to 1 hour, not meeting the 15-minute requirement.
- ✗
Daily snapshot-based replication
Why it's wrong here
Daily snapshots would only provide RPO of up to 24 hours, exceeding the 15-minute requirement.
- ✗
Cross-region replication with eventual consistency
Why it's wrong here
Eventual consistency may introduce delays and does not guarantee a 15-minute RPO.
- ✓
Continuous replication
Why this is correct
Continuous replication provides near real-time data replication, easily meeting a 15-minute RPO.
