Answer is correct but the explanation is incorrect. You must use the "Pre-deployment approval" which is part of the "Pre-deployment conditions". This has nothing to do with "gates".

It says Post-deployment conditions. That's why it is wrong

You're right, but still, webforce08 is right that this has nothing to do with "gates". The solution is to increase the timeout in Pre-deployment approvals from 2 to 8hs (as is required by policy)

I think Increasing the Timeout to 8 hours will fix this. At presents it is 2 hours, that is why it is deployment is getting rejected after 2 hours.

B. No. Modifying the Time between re-evaluation of gates option in Post-deployment conditions would not meet the goal of ensuring that the deployments only fail if the approvals take longer than eight hours. This option is used to specify the interval between checks for successful gate completion during a release deployment, and changing it would not address the issue of deployment failures due to approvals taking longer than eight hours.

Selected Answer: B

IMHO opinion here answer is NO. The requirement is that release has to be approved by a team leader before they are deployed. The solution cannot be a gate setting because we have a manual approval step here, not an automatic one.

This answer is correct. According to me justification is as follows: Timeout condition of gate will fail / stop entire deployment process. This timeout option can be configured by expanding evaluation option available in pre-deployment condition -> gates -> evaluation option. Also if "pre-deployment approvals" is enable that means it can add list of users who can approve or reject the deployment. If this option is disable then anyone can approve this request. Microsoft docs states the same with example. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/deploy-using-approvals?view=azure-devops

My mistake, If no approval is granted within the Timeout specified for the approval, the deployment is rejected. This option is available in pre-deployment condition
