Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Update the IAM policy to include the new zone
Why it's wrong here
IAM policies don't manage asset location.
- ✓
Delete the asset from the first zone and recreate it in the second
Why this is correct
Assets are zone-bound; deletion and recreation is the required path.
- ✗
Use the 'move' command in the CLI
Why it's wrong here
There is no native move command for assets.
- ✗
Update the asset metadata to point to the new zone
Why it's wrong here
The zone association is immutable once the asset is created.
