Which setting controls how long a consumer holds an exclusive lock before the message becomes visible again?

  1. A TimeToLive
  2. B LockDuration (correct answer)
  3. C MaxDeliveryCount
  4. D AutoDeleteOnIdle

Shortcut: LockDuration (up to 5 minutes) is the peek-lock window. Long-running handlers should renew the lock rather than rely on a large fixed duration.
