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.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Denies changes from anyone except members of the Change Control Board.
The policy denies a change to project requirements when the requester is NOT a member of the CCB. Thus, it denies changes from anyone outside the CCB, meaning it effectively allows changes only from CCB members. However, the policy is denial-based, not allowance-based, so the correct description is that it denies changes from all except CCB members.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Denies changes from members of the Change Control Board.
Why it's wrong here
The condition uses StringNotEquals, so it denies when not equal to 10.0.0.0/8, not when equal.
- ✓
Denies changes from anyone except members of the Change Control Board.
Why this is correct
Correct: The Deny applies when the source IP is not equal to 10.0.0.0/8.
- ✗
Allows changes only from members of the Change Control Board.
Why it's wrong here
The policy is a Deny, not an Allow; it does not explicitly allow anything.
- ✗
Allows changes from any requester.
Why it's wrong here
The policy applies a Deny, so it restricts, not allows.
