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 Data Lake Storage account does not have Get and Wrap Key permissions on the key vault.
The error occurs because the Data Lake Storage Gen2 account uses a customer-managed key from a key vault for encryption. The account's managed identity must have the 'Get' and 'Wrap Key' permissions on the key vault to access the key. Without these permissions, the deployment fails. Option B correctly identifies this. Option A (soft-delete) is not required for initial access but is recommended for protection. Option C (key name/version) would cause a different error (key not found). Option D (URI format) would also cause a different error.
