Which statement best describes Defer All?

• A. It defers only the currently selected item
• B. It defers none of the items
• C. It defers all items in the Attention List
• D. It permanently deletes all items

Answer: (C)

Deferring all means postponing action on every item currently in the Attention List. It marks each item to be set aside for later review, rather than handling them now or removing them entirely. This is a bulk operation that applies to the entire list, not to a single item. This makes it the best choice because the phrase implies a blanket deferment for the whole set of items needing attention, keeping them in the system but out of the immediate workflow for the defer period. It’s about postponement, not deletion or partial deferral. The other descriptions don’t fit: deferring only the currently selected item would affect just one item, not the entire list; deferring none would leave everything as-is with no postponement; permanently deleting all items would remove them entirely rather than just postponing their handling.
