Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The indicator is not associated with an incident
Why it's wrong here
Lack of association does not imply a false positive.
- ✓
The indicator is found on a configured Whitelist or matches reputation thresholds
Why this is correct
XSOAR evaluates indicators against reputation sources and whitelists to identify false positives.
- ✗
The indicator is older than 24 hours
Why it's wrong here
Age does not automatically make an indicator a false positive.
- ✗
The indicator has a score of 0
Why it's wrong here
A score of 0 is unknown, not necessarily false positive.
