Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Object versioning only

    Why it's wrong here

    Object versioning retains versions indefinitely unless lifecycle rules are added.

  • Retention policy

    Why it's wrong here

    Retention policy prevents deletion but does not delete old versions automatically.

  • Object holds

    Why it's wrong here

    Object holds prevent deletion but do not provide automatic cleanup.

  • Object lifecycle management with a rule to delete versions after 90 days

    Why this is correct

    Lifecycle rules can delete old versions based on age. This meets the requirement.
