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
✓
Object versioning
Object versioning keeps multiple variants of an object, allowing restoration to a previous state if data is encrypted or deleted. Cross-region replication is for disaster recovery. Bucket locking prevents deletion but does not maintain versions. Access controls prevent unauthorized access but do not protect against authorized actions.
