Hi Nando,
If you are talking about the question asking "Which of the following are FALSE with Direct Connect?", which part do you disagree with? Did you perhaps misread the question?

I will say this: i author questions for a lot of professional certification exams (like the CISSP and AWS exams) and we generally prohibit asking questions that ask negatives ("which of the following is false" or "which of these will NOT solve the problem", "which of these is NOT a feature of service X" etc.). The cognitive burden on the test taker is far too high. We want to focus test takers on remembering the right things. When the question is basic / definitional, we always write questions where the answers are positive/true. It’s not that you can’t have a question that asks "which of these might be the problem". It’s just that we don’t ask "which of these is NOT the problem" or "all of these will fix the problem EXCEPT which one" or anything like that. Invert the logic and the question should still be valid and it will be more representative of what most psychometricians encourage on standardised exams.
