Why each option
This statement accurately describes the effect of a Docker Compose health check configuration with a 10-second interval and 3 retries.
A Docker Compose health check defined with an `interval: 10s` means checks occur ten seconds apart. If `retries: 3` is also configured, the container will be marked 'unhealthy' after three consecutive failed health checks.
The description correctly interprets the common `interval` and `retries` parameters within a Docker Compose health check definition.
