Explanation

{"question_number": 4, "question_summary": "Understanding a Cosmos DB container TTL configuration from an exhibit", "correct_answer": "C", "explanation": "The correct answer is C: Items will expire only if the item has a time to live value. This behavior occurs when the container's TTL is set to 'On (no default)' - meaning TTL is enabled at the container level, but no default expiration is set. Under this configuration, items without an individual ttl property are retained indefinitely, while items that explicitly include a ttl property will be deleted after that many seconds. Option A (deleted after one year) and D (deleted after one hour) would both require a specific default TTL value to be configured on the container. Option B describes the behavior when TTL is completely disabled.", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 4}
