Correct answer & explanation
Bucket Lock with retention policy enforces a minimum retention period for objects. Once locked, the retention policy cannot be removed, preventing deletion or overwrite. Object versioning helps but can be overwritten. Hold policies are temporary. IAM policies can be overridden by owner.
