What happens when you choose Defer on an item?

• A. The item is permanently deleted
• B. The item is archived immediately
• C. The item is deferred temporarily
• D. The item is moved to a different list

Answer: (C)

Deferring an item means postponing the action on it to a later time rather than removing it or changing its place in your system. When you choose defer, the item stays in your workflow but is put on hold, often with a reminder or a scheduled time to revisit it. This is a temporary delay that lets you come back later when you’re ready. The other options imply removing, hiding, or relocating the item: permanently deleting it removes it entirely; archiving moves it out of active view; moving to a different list changes where it appears. Defer keeps the item in your current context but postpones handling it.
