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
✓

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 indicator matched an internal whitelist entry
Why it's wrong here
Whitelisted indicators are suppressed, not necessarily marked as expired.
- ✗
The threat feed source has revoked its SSL certificate
Why it's wrong here
SSL certificate status is unrelated to indicator TTL expiration.
- ✓
The indicator has exceeded its configured time-to-live (TTL) or retention period without being refreshed by a feed
Why this is correct
Expiration means the indicator is past its validity window and is typically no longer used in active correlation.
- ✗
The file hash has been successfully quarantined on all endpoints
Why it's wrong here
Quarantine status is managed by endpoint security policies, not indicator expiration.
