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.

Subnets can be regional or availability domain-specific (though regional subnets are recommended), and they can be designated as either public or private during creation.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • Subnets can span across multiple different VCNs.

    Why it's wrong here

    Subnets belong exclusively to a single VCN.

  • Subnets can be designated as either public or private upon creation.

    Why this is correct

    You choose whether a subnet is public or private when you create it.

  • Every subnet must have an Internet Gateway attached directly to it.

    Why it's wrong here

    Private subnets do not connect to Internet Gateways.

  • Subnets can be regional, spanning all Availability Domains in a region.

    Why this is correct

    Regional subnets are the default and recommended best practice in OCI.

  • A subnet's CIDR block can be modified after it is created.

    Why it's wrong here

    Subnet CIDR blocks cannot be modified after creation.
