Denomination of Controlled Origin (DOCs) in Argentina: which statement accurately describes them?

DOCs in Argentina designate wines from defined regions with binding rules to preserve their character. There are two such DOCs approved, and they specify style regulations that govern aspects like permitted grape varieties, yield limits, aging requirements, and labeling. This combination—two approved DOCs with explicit style rules—is what makes the statement correct. The other options don’t fit because there aren’t four DOCs, nor a single DOC, and the system emphasizes regulatory style specifications rather than just vintage limits.
