Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configuring Auto-Inflate on the Service Bus namespace
Why it's wrong here
Auto-Inflate scales throughput units, it does not manage failed poison messages.
- ✗
Enabling Event Grid advanced filters on the queue
Why it's wrong here
Event Grid filters do not handle Service Bus poison messages.
- ✗
Setting the Partition Key to a null value
Why it's wrong here
Partition keys control partitioning, not poison message quarantining.
- ✓
Configuring Max Delivery Count and automatic dead-lettering
Why this is correct
When delivery attempts exceed Max Delivery Count, Service Bus automatically moves the message to the DLQ.
- ✓
Explicitly calling DeadLetterMessageAsync() in application code upon processing failure
Why this is correct
Workers can manually dead-letter a message when unrecoverable validation errors occur.
