Explanation

{"question_number": 9, "question": "What is the purpose of push protection?", "correct_answer": "D. to scan and block the code that contains secrets before it reaches the repository", "explanation": "Push protection intercepts a git push at the moment it occurs - before the commit is stored in the repository - and blocks it if a secret is detected. The developer is notified and must either remove the secret or explicitly bypass the protection. This is a preventive control, stopping exposure at the source. It does not scan for code vulnerabilities (answer A), validate code ownership (answer B), or manage licensing (answer C).", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 4}
