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 snapshot was created in a different region using a regional encryption key that is not present in the destination region.

The error occurs when copying an encrypted snapshot to a different region because the snapshot was encrypted using a regional encryption key that exists only in the source region. The destination region does not have access to that key, causing the copy to fail. Option C correctly identifies this scenario.

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 snapshot size exceeds the regional limit.

    Why it's wrong here

    Size limits produce a different error.

  • ✗

    The user does not have permission to create snapshots in the destination region.

    Why it's wrong here

    This would result in an authorization error, not a key availability error.

  • ✓

    The snapshot was created in a different region using a regional encryption key that is not present in the destination region.

    Why this is correct

    Regional keys cannot be used across regions by default.

  • ✗

    The encryption key used to encrypt the snapshot has been deleted.

    Why it's wrong here

    A deleted key would cause a different error.
