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 replication_filter configuration.
Why it's wrong here
Filters exclude paths, they don't cause engines to disappear if correctly mounted.
- ✗
The namespace's 'replicated' flag.
Why it's wrong here
This flag does not exist.
- ✓
The mount's 'local' flag.
Why this is correct
If a mount is created with -local=true, it is not replicated.
- ✗
The secondary cluster's license status.
Why it's wrong here
A license issue would affect the entire cluster, not a single engine.
