Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Policies must specify a valid scope (compartment or tenancy) and correctly reference subjects and resources.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Compartment names in policy statements are case-insensitive and can be replaced by user OCIDs.
Why it's wrong here
Compartment names must match accurately and user OCIDs cannot replace compartment scope definitions in policy statements.
- ✗
Policies are attached directly to individual users rather than groups.
Why it's wrong here
OCI IAM policies are assigned to groups, never directly to users.
- ✓
Policies defined in a child compartment cannot grant permissions on resources in parent compartments.
Why this is correct
Policies flow downwards in the compartment hierarchy, never upwards.
- ✗
Policies can grant permissions across completely unrelated tenancies without any endorsement or commitment.
Why it's wrong here
Cross-tenancy access strictly requires both endorsement and commitment policies.
- ✓
When referencing nested compartments, the full hierarchical path separated by colons must be used if not a direct child.
Why this is correct
Path syntax (ParentComp:ChildComp) is required for deeply nested compartments.
