Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Incident SLAs and timer/scheduled automation rules configured for SLA breach actions.
Why this is correct
SLAs monitor incident duration and can trigger automated tasks or notifications when time thresholds are exceeded.
- ✗
Integration instance polling frequency parameters.
Why it's wrong here
Polling frequency controls how often external systems are queried for new events.
- ✗
Standard browser session timeout settings.
Why it's wrong here
Browser session timeouts log out inactive human users, not incident response SLAs.
- ✗
The daily database backup cron schedule.
Why it's wrong here
Database backups preserve data state, not incident escalation workflows.
