Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
All resources inside the compartment are automatically deleted along with it.
Why it's wrong here
OCI does not permit deleting a compartment that contains resources; it must be emptied first.
- ✗
Resources become orphaned and are managed by the tenancy administrator group.
Why it's wrong here
Orphaned resources cannot occur because deletion is blocked while resources exist.
- ✓
The compartment cannot be deleted until all resources within it are deleted or moved to another compartment.
Why this is correct
OCI enforces a safety check requiring compartments to be empty before deletion is allowed.
- ✗
Resources are automatically moved to the root compartment.
Why it's wrong here
Resources do not auto-migrate on compartment deletion; deletion fails if resources remain.
