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 push endpoint requires authentication but none is set
Why this is correct
If the endpoint expects an Authorization header, requests without it will fail with 500 or 401.
- ✗
The topic has no messages
Why it's wrong here
If the topic had no messages, the push endpoint would not receive any requests, so no 500 errors.
- ✗
The push endpoint is not a valid HTTPS URL
Why it's wrong here
The URL appears to start with https, so it is valid.
- ✗
The ack deadline is too short
Why it's wrong here
A short ack deadline causes redelivery, not 500 errors from the push endpoint.
