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 retention period (7 days) equals the backup interval (7 days), which could cause data loss if a backup fails.

The retention period of 7 days matches the backup interval of 7 days, meaning each backup is retained exactly until the next backup. If a backup fails, there is no overlap and the previous backup may have already been deleted, leading to data loss. Option A is wrong because the runbook is enabled (isEnabled: true). Option B is wrong because Standard_LRS is suitable for backups. Option C is wrong because the description is not the issue.
