Hello, I believe this question is wrongly set up or not clear enough. We don't say in the question that periods of 10 and 5 years are targeted.

You are correct in stating that these numbers are not specified in the question, but considering the three answer choices that are provided, only one of them satisfies the objective.
In other words, regardless of the two time periods, the second answer choice is correct. You can actually identify the correct one by eliminating those which are clearly incorrect.

One would argue that single retention label is more adapted if all documents fall under really different retention periods and not only 5 and 10 years.
This is a possibility, but it's based on an assumption that's not stated in the question. In general, the scenarios on which the questions are based imply the use of defaults.
Btw. note that, on an actual exam, you would obviously not see the rationales for correct answers, so the fact that the references to 5 and 10 year retention periods appear in the rationale to a practice test wouldn't be particularly relevant.
