What change do you make to the file filter shown in the exhibit in order to show only graphics with a logical size between 500 kilobytes and 10 megabytes?

Question

Options

• AYou change all file status items to a red circle.
• BYou change all file status items to a yellow triangle.
• CYou make no change. The filter is correct as shown.
• DYou change Graphics in the File Type column to a yellow triangle.

• A
  9% (5)
• B
  5% (3)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  84% (47)

Explanation

Option D is correct because a yellow triangle in these file filter tools (such as Veritas Backup Exec) means "include files of this type only if they meet the additional criteria" - in this case, the size range of 500KB–10MB. Without changing Graphics to a yellow triangle, the size condition applies globally but Graphics files aren't flagged to be filtered conditionally, so they'd either be included entirely or excluded entirely rather than filtered by size.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (red circle for all items): A red circle means exclude - changing everything to red would exclude all files, which is the opposite of the goal.
• B (yellow triangle for all items): Applying a yellow triangle to all file types would apply the size filter to every file type, not just Graphics - too broad.
• C (no change needed): Incorrect because the Graphics entry must be set to yellow triangle to link it to the size criteria; the filter as shown wouldn't restrict Graphics by size.

Memory tip: Think of the yellow triangle as a "caution/conditional" sign - proceed only if criteria are met. Red circle = stop (exclude), green circle = go (include all), yellow triangle = go only if conditions are satisfied. When you combine a file type filter with a size range, the type must be yellow to "activate" the conditional logic.
