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

✓

The weekly retention keeps 12 weekly points (count=12, durationType=Weeks). The monthly retention keeps 12 monthly points (count=12, durationType=Months). Instant RP retention adds up to 5 days, but those are additional recovery points not counted in the long-term retention. So total long-term recovery points = 12 (weekly) + 12 (monthly) = 24. Option A is correct.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
24
Why this is correct
12 weekly (every Mon, Wed, Fri for 12 weeks) + 12 monthly (first Sunday each month for 12 months) = 24 recovery points.
✗
17
Why it's wrong here
This is not a correct sum of the retention counts.
✗
29
Why it's wrong here
This incorrectly adds the 5-day instant RP retention as additional long-term points.
✗
12
Why it's wrong here
This only counts the weekly points, ignoring monthly retention.
