Correct answer & explanation
✓
Increase retentionDays for CustomerRecord to 730
Current retention for CustomerRecord is 365 days (1 year). To meet at least two years (730 days), the retentionDays value must be increased to 730.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Add a new rule for CustomerRecord with 730 days
Why it's wrong here
Adding a retention rule of 730 days for CustomerRecord would delete the records after that period, whereas the requirement is to keep them for *at least* two years, meaning indefinite retention after the minimum period. This option is tempting because 730 days equals two years, and in a scenario where the policy demanded deletion after exactly two years, this rule would be correct.
- ✗
Remove the CustomerRecord rule
Why it's wrong here
Removing would eliminate retention requirements.
- ✗
Change action for CustomerRecord to Delete
Why it's wrong here
Deleting would not meet the retention requirement.
- ✓
Increase retentionDays for CustomerRecord to 730
Why this is correct
Correct: 730 days = 2 years.
