Refer to the exhibit. An Azure Data Factory instance uses a self-hosted integration runtime. The exhibit shows the properties of the integration runtime. The data engineer notices that copy activities are failing with errors indicating that the integration runtime is not available. What is the most likely cause?

⚠ Common exam trap

The trap here is that candidates see the status 'Online' and assume the IR is fully functional, overlooking that version incompatibility can cause operational failures even when the IR appears connected.

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The integration runtime version is outdated and needs to be manually updated

The exhibit shows the integration runtime version as '5.24.8345.1' and the status as 'Online', but copy activities are failing. The most likely cause is that the self-hosted IR version is outdated and no longer compatible with the Azure Data Factory service endpoints, leading to connectivity failures. Auto-update being disabled (Option B) would prevent automatic updates, but the core issue is the outdated version itself, which requires manual intervention to update.
