You have a Microsoft 365 subscription.
You have the retention policies shown in the following table.
Both policies are applied to a Microsoft SharePoint site named Site1 that contains a file named File1.docx.
File1.docx was created on January 1, 2022 and last modified on January 31,2022. The file was NOT modified again.
When will File1.docx be deleted automatically?
The file will be deleted on January 31, 2024. According to the retention policies, Policy1 retains items based on creation date and deletes them after 1 year, while Policy2 retains items based on the last modified date for 2 years and does nothing afterwards. The longest retention period (Policy2) takes precedence, which means the file will be retained for 2 years from the last modified date (January 31, 2022), resulting in deletion on January 31, 2024.
D is correct. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/retention?tabs=table-overriden#the-principles-of-retention-or-what-takes-precedence quote: "Example for this first principle: An email message is subject to a retention policy for Exchange that is configured to delete items three years after they are created, and it also has a retention label applied that is configured to retain items five years after they are created.

The email message is permanently deleted at the end of the five years because of the delete action that was suspended while the retention action was in effect.
An example from Microsoft explains it very clear: An email message is subject to a retention policy for Exchange that is configured to delete items three years after they are created, and it also has a retention label applied that is configured to retain items five years after they are created. The email message is retained for five years because this retention action takes precedence over deletion.

I think D is correct. Please check this URL. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/retention?tabs=table-overriden
Gbartumeu provides the perfect example. Just look at his article and do a find for "suspended". Second hit.
After 1 year the file would be deleted if not modified. Since it was modified the retention period takes precedence. However it is still flagged for deletion so once the retention period is up it will then be deleted.
rules retention takes precedence over deletion longest retention wins do nothing means that the file will remain as is until the user delete it (no retention policy applied)
Correct Answer is E Given the retention policies: Policy 1: Retains items for 1 year based on when they were created, and then deletes them automatically. Policy 2: Retains items for 2 years based on when they were last modified, and then does nothing. The file File1.docx was created on January 1, 2022, and last modified on January 31, 2022. According to Policy 1, the file would be deleted one year after its creation date, which would be January 1, 2023. However, Policy 2 retains the file for two years after its last modification date, which would be January 31, 2024. Since Policy 2 has a longer retention period and it is set to “Do Nothing” at the end of the retention period, the deletion action from Policy 1 will not take place. Therefore, File1.docx will not be deleted automatically. So, the correct answer is E. never.
Retention action takes precedence over deletion.
Since Policy2 retains the file for 2 years from the last modified date and does nothing at the end, this policy ensures that the file remains in place for at least 2 years. Policy1, which requires deletion after 1 year, is overridden by Policy2 because retention (Policy2) is a more conservative action compared to deletion. Therefore, Policy2 has priority because it retains the file for a longer period, and retention always wins over deletion. Correct answer: E. Never.
In this scenario: Policy1 retains items for 1 year and deletes them afterward. Policy2 retains items for 2 years without deleting them. Since Policy2 has the longest retention period, File1.docx will be retained for 2 years (until January 31, 2024) and won't be deleted at the end of that period because Policy2 specifies "Do nothing." If there are multiple retention policies applied to the same content, the policy with the longest retention period will take precedence, even if another policy specifies deletion at the end of its retention period.When two retention policies conflict, Azure will respect the one that has the longest retention duration.The file will never be automatically deleted due to the longer retention period in Policy2 and its "Do nothing" instruction at the end. So has to be E.
Sorry guys it is D: i checked the flow chart https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/retention-flowchart Retention Periods: Policy1’s retention period ends on January 1, 2023. Policy2’s retention period ends on January 31, 2024. Retention vs. Deletion: Policy2 overrides Policy1 because it has the longest retention period. The file is retained until January 31, 2024. During this time, the delete action from Policy1 is suspended. After January 31, 2024: The delete action from Policy1 is applied since retention no longer protects the file. The file is deleted automatically after January 31, 2024.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/retention?tabs=table-overriden#the-principles-of-retention-or-what-takes-precedence "At a high level, you can be assured that retention always takes precedence over permanent deletion, and the longest retention period wins. These two simple rules always decide how long an item will be retained." Possibly E due to the "at end of retention" setting being no action, i.e., retain. Unless the polices change, it would not be deleted.
E is correct
In Microsoft, if two retention policies are applied to the same content, and one policy is set to "delete" while the other is set to "do nothing," the "do nothing" policy will not take precedence; the "delete" policy will always win, meaning the content will be deleted according to the deletion policy. This is because "retention" generally takes precedence over "deletion" in Microsoft's retention policies.
🔹 Policy1: Retention duration: 1 year Start retention: When items were created End of period: Delete items automatically File1.docx was created on January 1, 2022, so under Policy1, it will be deleted on January 1, 2023. 🔹 Policy2: Retention duration: 2 years Start retention: When items were last modified End of period: Do nothing File1.docx was last modified on January 31, 2022, so under Policy2, it will be retained until at least January 31, 2024, but nothing will happen after. 📌 Conflict resolution: When multiple retention policies apply: The most restrictive outcome applies. In this case: Policy1 results in deletion after 1 year (Jan 1, 2023). Policy2 retains longer but does not prevent deletion by the more aggressive Policy1. Since Policy1 has a delete action and applies sooner, it takes precedence. ✅ Final Answer: A. January 1, 2023 _________________________________________________
Could someone explain? im thinking E
E - Retention wins over deletion https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/retention?tabs=table-overriden#the-principles-of-retention-or-what-takes-precedence
E is correct answer: Retention wins over deletion
Answer is D. Retention wins over deletion for the period of two years then the deletion would take over after the two years. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/explore-retention-policies-labels-microsoft-365/5-examine-principles-retention
Example: At Contoso, an email message is subject to a retention policy for Exchange. A Contoso administrator configured the policy to delete items three years after creation. It also has a retention label applied that retains items five years after creation. Outcome: The system retains the email message for five years because this retention action takes precedence over the deletion action. As a result, the system permanently deletes the email message at the end of the five years because of the delete action the system suspended while the retention action was in effect.
Answer is A. January 1 2023. The question is concerned exactly will the file be deleted not modified which it will take 1 year retention period and the deletion took place automatically according to the information in the table
Answer is correct D! January 31, 2024
E- I believe because as others have noted....retention wins over deletion.
Nvm...Correct Answer is D

Or to retain without an end date, select Retain items forever on this page.
Since Policy 1 specifies automatic deletion after 1 year from the creation date, File1.docx will be deleted on January 1, 2023.
I think E. As Policy2 has priority because it retains the file for a longer period, and retention always wins over deletion.
