Explanation

To trigger an automated action from an alert, two things must explicitly be in place: the alert definition's automated setting must be enabled (not left at default), and the alert must have a recommendation attached - because the recommendation is the actual action that gets automated.

Why B is correct: The automated setting defaults to disabled, meaning automation never fires unless you explicitly enable it. Leaving it at the default (option A) means no automated action will trigger, making A incorrect.

Why E is correct: A recommendation serves as the blueprint for what the system should do when the alert fires. Without an attached recommendation, there is nothing to automate - the system has no defined action to execute, which is why C (claiming no recommendation is needed) is wrong.

Why D is wrong: It correctly identifies that a recommendation is needed, but the claim that symptom definitions are not required is a distraction from the core issue - the question is specifically about the two conditions for automation, and D only partially addresses them while introducing an unrelated qualifier.

Memory tip: Think B + E = Automate. You need to Build the trigger (enable automation) and give it something to Execute (attach a recommendation). No recommendation = no action; default setting = no trigger.
