Which two options describe the expected results when centralized policy, virus, and outbreak quarantines are disabled on the Cisco Email Security Appliance? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. New messages sent to the quarantine are immediately sent to local quarantines D. Local quarantines are enabled automatically. Disabling centralized quarantines on the ESA causes the appliance to automatically re-enable its local quarantines and immediately route new quarantined messages to them.

Why each option
Disabling centralized quarantines on the ESA causes the appliance to automatically re-enable its local quarantines and immediately route new quarantined messages to them.
A reboot is not required when disabling centralized quarantines; the change takes effect without restarting the appliance.
When centralized quarantines are disabled, any message that would have been sent to the SMA quarantine is instead routed to the corresponding local quarantine on the ESA immediately, without interruption to mail flow.
The ESA continues accepting new messages normally; disabling centralized quarantines only changes where quarantined messages are stored, not whether mail is accepted.
Disabling centralized quarantines triggers the ESA to automatically re-enable local quarantines, ensuring a quarantine destination is always available for policy-matched messages.
The quarantine process does not need to be manually restarted; the ESA handles the transition to local quarantines automatically as part of the configuration change.
