Question: Which of the following activities is a violation of Google Play policies?
- The review of content that you created or from which you receive money.
- The review of apps that have only recently been updated.
- The review of apps that are too new to have many reviews.
- The review of content from your competitors.
Explanation
Google Play prohibits manipulating app placement through illegitimate ratings, reviews, or installs. User Ratings, Reviews, and Installs policy requires reviews to remain authentic and relevant. Reviewing content connected to personal creation or financial benefit creates a conflict of interest and can mislead users. Google Play treats review manipulation as a violation because ratings and reviews are quality signals for app discovery.
Why the other options are incorrect
Recently updated apps Recent updates do not make a review policy violation by themselves.
New apps A low number of existing reviews does not make reviewing the app improper.
Competitor content Reviewing competing apps is not automatically a violation unless the review is deceptive, fraudulent, or manipulative.
