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 policy is disabled, so it should not be enforcing.
The policy is disabled (Enabled: False), so it is not enforcing any retention or deletion actions. However, users are complaining that documents are being deleted automatically, which cannot be caused by this disabled policy. The issue is likely another policy or process. Option A is incorrect because even if the retention action is 'Delete', it has no effect since the policy is disabled. Option C is incorrect because Mode 'Enable' means the policy is active when enabled, but since it is disabled, mode is irrelevant. Option D is incorrect because 'DateCreated' is a valid retention trigger.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The retention action is set to Delete instead of NoAction.
Why it's wrong here
The retention action being 'Delete' is irrelevant because the policy is disabled and not enforcing any actions.

The policy is disabled, so it should not be enforcing.
Why this is correct
The policy is disabled, so it should not be causing automatic deletion. This is the correct identification of the issue as stated.
- ✗
The mode is set to Enable, which means the policy is in test mode.
Why it's wrong here
Mode 'Enable' means the policy is active when enabled, but since it is disabled, mode is not causing the issue.
- ✗
The retention trigger is set to DateCreated, which is incorrect.
Why it's wrong here
'DateCreated' is a valid retention trigger and not the cause of the problem.
