Which four functional limitations are Whisper Announcements subject to? (Choose four.)
The correct answer is A. Announcements do not play for outbound calls made by an agent. C. Announcements do not play when the router selects the agent through a label node. F. Only one announcement can play for each call. G. While an announcement plays, you cannot put the call on hold, transfer, or conference; release. Whisper Announcements play a pre-recorded message to an agent just before a call connects, giving them context about the caller.

Explanation
Whisper Announcements play a pre-recorded message to an agent just before a call connects, giving them context about the caller. Four core functional limitations govern their behavior: they skip outbound agent-initiated calls (A) because the feature is designed only for inbound routing flows; they are bypassed when a label node handles agent selection (C) since label routing returns an external DNIS rather than completing the standard agent-assignment path where the announcement would trigger; only a single announcement can play per call (F), so you cannot chain multiple messages; and during playback, the agent's call controls - hold, transfer, conference, and release - are locked (G) until the announcement finishes.
The distractors are wrong for these reasons: B describes a workaround (using SendToVRU for agent-to-agent calls), not a limitation; D is incorrect because CVP transfers do support Whisper Announcements; E is incorrect because Silent Monitoring is compatible with Whisper Announcements; and H is incorrect because Mobile Agent deployments do support Whisper Announcements.
Memory tip: Think of the acronym "OLAG" - Outbound calls skip it, Label nodes bypass it, Announcements are limited to one, and Going hands-on (hold/transfer/conference) is blocked during playback. These four represent what the feature cannot do during normal operation, not configuration workarounds or unrelated features.
