- A
Output filtering to detect and block dangerous code constructs
Output filtering can analyze generated code for malicious patterns and block it.
- B
Input validation to block the word 'delete'
Why wrong: An attacker can easily bypass by using synonyms or obfuscation.
- C
Rate limiting on the number of requests per user
Why wrong: Rate limiting does not filter harmful outputs.
- D
Retraining the model on safe code only
Why wrong: Retraining is expensive and does not guarantee that the model won't generate harmful code.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Output filtering to detect and block dangerous code constructs
Output filtering can block generated code that contains dangerous patterns like file deletion commands.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Trap categories for this question
Command / output trap
Rate limiting does not filter harmful outputs.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the AI0-001 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
