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 file is permanently deleted
Why this is correct
When configured, the retention label triggers permanent removal.
- ✗
The file is moved to the recycle bin
Why it's wrong here
Purview policies can be set to permanently delete, not just move to the bin.
- ✗
The file is encrypted
Why it's wrong here
Retention is for lifecycle, not access protection.
- ✗
The file becomes read-only
Why it's wrong here
This is the effect during the retention period, not after expiration.
