SC-900 Practice Question: Describe the capabilities of Microsoft compliance solutions

Exhibit

{
  "Name": "HR Retention Tag",
  "Type": "RetentionLabel",
  "Settings": {
    "RetentionDuration": 2555,
    "RetentionType": "Days",
    "DeleteAfterRetention": true,
    "RecordSettings": {
      "RecordType": "Standard",
      "Locked": false
    }
  }
}

Refer to the exhibit. An administrator created a retention label with the settings shown. What is the behavior of this label when applied to content?

⚠ Common exam trap

Many exam-takers confuse the retention period with the disposition review setting, assuming a disposition review is always required for deletion, or misread the 7-year period as 5 years due to the visual layout of the exhibit.

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

✓

It retains content for 7 years and then automatically deletes it.

The retention label is configured with a retention period of 7 years and an action of 'Delete items automatically when the retention period ends.' Since no disposition review is enabled, the content will be automatically deleted after 7 years. This matches option C exactly.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
It retains content for 5 years and then applies a disposition review.
Why it's wrong here
This statement is incorrect because the retention duration is explicitly set to 2555 days, which translates to 7 years, not 5 years. Furthermore, the 'DeleteAfterRetention' property being 'true' indicates that content is automatically deleted after the retention period expires, bypassing any disposition review process. Disposition reviews require specific configuration that is not present when automatic deletion is enabled.
✗
It marks content as a regulatory record and prevents deletion.
Why it's wrong here
This statement is incorrect because the retention label's 'RecordType' is 'Standard', not 'Regulatory'. A regulatory record would typically have 'RecordType' set to 'Regulatory' and 'Locked' set to 'true', which would prevent deletion and modification more stringently. Since 'Locked' is 'false', the content is not protected as a regulatory record and will eventually be deleted as per the label's settings.
✓
It retains content for 7 years and then automatically deletes it.
Why this is correct
This option accurately describes the retention label's behavior. The specified retention duration of 2555 days precisely equates to 7 years (2555 days / 365 days/year). Following this 7-year retention period, the 'DeleteAfterRetention' property, which is set to 'true', ensures that the content is automatically and permanently deleted without requiring any manual intervention or disposition review.
✗
It retains content indefinitely with no deletion.
Why it's wrong here
This option is incorrect because the retention label explicitly defines a retention period of 2555 days, which is 7 years, not indefinitely. Crucially, the 'DeleteAfterRetention' property is set to 'true', meaning that content *will* be automatically deleted once the 7-year retention period has expired. Indefinite retention would require 'DeleteAfterRetention' to be 'false' and no disposition action, or a specific 'retain forever' setting.
