Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Presence of valid records in the cmdb_rel_ci table
Why this is correct
The map relies entirely on relationship records stored in the cmdb_rel_ci table to draw connections.
- ✗
Client-side form layout (UI policies)
Why it's wrong here
UI policies control form field behavior, not graph visualization topology.
- ✗
The local browser cache size of the end user
Why it's wrong here
Browser cache does not dictate logical CI relationship rendering.
- ✗
Discovery schedule polling intervals
Why it's wrong here
Polling intervals control scan timing, not map rendering logic.
- ✓
Active relationship filters applied to the view
Why this is correct
Filters determine which relationship types and CI classes are displayed or hidden on the map.
