Final answer:
The statement about configuring a queue to retain messages for up to 14 days is true. Systems like Amazon SQS allow a retention period of up to 14 days. So the correct answer is option (A).
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that you can configure a queue to retain messages for up to 14 days after the message has been sent is true. Message queuing systems such as Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) allow you to set a message retention period that specifies how long a message will be kept in the queue before it is automatically deleted.
The retention period can range from one minute to a maximum of 14 days. This feature is important for ensuring that messages are not lost in the event of processing failures and can be retried within the retention window.
For example, in Azure Service Bus, when creating or configuring a queue, you can set the "Time to Live" (TTL) for messages. This represents the duration for which a message will be retained in the queue after being sent. If a message is not consumed within this time frame, it may expire and be automatically removed from the queue.
Similarly, in Amazon SQS, the default retention period for messages in a queue is four days, but you can adjust this period to a value between 1 minute and 14 days according to your requirements.
So, the correct answer is: True
However, it's crucial to consult the documentation of the specific messaging service you are using to understand the retention policies and limitations associated with message queues in that particular system.
