Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Generate a Pre-authenticated Request (PAR) for the specific backup object with an expiration date.
Why this is correct
PARs allow secure, time-limited external access to a single object or bucket without an OCI account.
- ✗
Configure a Service Gateway to allow external IP ranges to access the bucket.
Why it's wrong here
Service Gateways are for private connectivity within Oracle Cloud infrastructure, not external public internet access.
- ✗
Make the entire bucket public by modifying the bucket access policy.
Why it's wrong here
Making buckets public exposes sensitive database backups to anyone on the internet.
- ✗
Create a temporary IAM user account with Object Storage Reader permissions.
Why it's wrong here
Creating IAM users for external third parties introduces security risks and unnecessary administrative overhead.
