DRAG DROP -
You are developing an ASP.NET Core MVC web application. The application uses a custom tool named sectarget that performs security audits of the web application's assemblies. The custom tool was built in netstandard1.1 and is packaged into a NuGet package named sectarget.
You need to ensure that the custom tool is run each time the web application is built or published and that the latest version of sectarget is used each time the tool is run.
How should you complete the markup? To answer, drag the appropriate XML segments to the correct locations. Each XML segment may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

The answer is correct: "custom tool was built in netstandard1.1", not that package version is 1.1, so the "*" is the best fit for the "latest version of sectarget".

when using 1.1, NuGet would allow 1.1 and higher versions (if other dependencies required this package at higher version than 1.1). however, if there are no other dependencies requiring this package (presumably this case), then Nuget attempts to load lowest version possible. see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/concepts/dependency-resolution#lowest-applicable-version

Based from this post: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/concepts/package-versioning#version-ranges-and-wildcards the version should be '1.1' as it means the version is greater than or equal to 1.1.
