MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question

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
✓
Set 'Defer quality updates (days)' to 0.
To receive quality updates immediately, set 'Defer quality updates (days)' to 0 (option A). To defer feature updates for 60 days, set 'Defer feature updates (days)' to 60 (option E). Option B is incorrect because 'Feature update channel' is a channel selection, not a deferral setting. Option C is about notification level, unrelated to update timing. Option D would defer quality updates, which is the opposite of the requirement.
