Exhibit
{
"name": "ACME Application",
"scope": "x_acme_app",
"version": "1.0.0",
"dependencies": [
{

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
✓
The application must be installed on an instance with ServiceNow version 3.0.0 or later.
In ServiceNow application manifests, a dependency on 'global' refers to the platform version (ServiceNow release). It means the application requires the instance to be at least version 3.0.0. Option A confuses update sets, C misinterprets scope, and D is incorrect.
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 application requires an update set from global scope.
Why it's wrong here
Dependencies in manifests refer to other applications or the platform, not update sets.
- ✓
The application must be installed on an instance with ServiceNow version 3.0.0 or later.
Why this is correct
'global' scope with a version constraint indicates the minimum platform version.
- ✗
The application depends on another application with scope 'global' that must be at least version 3.0.0.
Why it's wrong here
'global' is not a scoped application; it represents the platform.
- ✗
The application's global update set must be at version 3.0.0.
Why it's wrong here
Update sets do not have version numbers in this context.
