Answer is C Because Object Locks (A,B) only prevent deleting or overwriting but still accessible https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/object-lock-overview.html

I agree the answer is C, but your explanation of object locks is a little confusing. Where does it mention in the question that previous versions of the files should not be accessible?

Object lock is used with S3 versioning to prevent the deletion of versions.

lifecycle policy or migration to a difference class of S3 is first to save storage cost, with accessibility in mind. Object lock on the other hand prevents deletion, the question says data must be retained after 5 years for auditing purposes, meaning data older than 5 years must not be deleted, I suppose we can still delete data stored in glacier if we want, we can also delete versions of objects if we want to, but once they are locked, deletion is impossible, that way they are kept for auditing purposes. B is the right choice.

This question appeared in the exam with a tweak. I passed the exam yesterday. Thanks examtopics and those who contributed! Question had two choices. I don't remember the exact wordings but, it also ask to delete objects after five years. With Governance Mode it is possible to delete the object with special permissions I chose A & C

Selected Answer: C

C - since data can be "modified" if required by restoring from Glacier Deep Archive and also the data can be "retained to original data" by using object level versioning

Why not object lock/auditing,compliance ->Lock will prevent tampering? Governance mode allows root user to make modification to lock whereas Compliance mode does not allow changes by anyone.
