   • BThe proxy layer blocks all suggestions that are longer than a few lines to avoid copyright issues.
   • CThe proxy layer adds a citation to the original source when it detects similar code.
   • DThe proxy layer does not filter for copyright; it only filters for inappropriate content and policy violations.

   A developer is using Copilot in a codebase that uses tabs for indentation, but the editor is configured to use spaces. After accepting a suggestion, the developer notices that the indentation is inconsistent. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe model generated the suggestion with tabs, and post-processing is not designed to change indentation style.
   • BThe proxy layer filtered out the indentation characters to reduce data size.
   • CThe post-processing step did not convert tabs to spaces because the editor setting was not detected.
   • DThe developer's editor settings are not relevant because Copilot always uses spaces.
