Options

• ADeliver
• BDrop
• CQuarantine
• DEncrypt

• A
  94% (31)
• B

• D

Explanation

Option A is correct because the question states "all other severity settings are left at default," and the default action in DLP Policy Manager for message handling is Deliver - messages are passed through unless explicitly configured otherwise. Since only the critical severity level was changed to "drop," medium severity inherits the unchanged default behavior of delivering the message.

B (Drop) is wrong because "drop" was explicitly configured only for critical severity - you cannot assume it cascades to lower severity levels without a specific configuration change. C (Quarantine) and D (Encrypt) are wrong because neither is the factory default action; they would require deliberate configuration, which the question states was not done for any severity other than critical.

Memory tip: Think of DLP defaults as "innocent until proven guilty" - messages are delivered unless a specific severity level has been explicitly configured to do something else. If the policy is silent on a severity level, it delivers.
