Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Removing previous versions of objects
GDPR right to erasure requires deletion of all copies. Versioning creates multiple versions that must be deleted. Cross-region replication creates additional copies in other regions that must also be deleted.
