Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Apple Configurator tethered supervision only
Why it's wrong here
Apple Configurator prepares devices, but ongoing enforcement requires an MDM solution like VPP/managed distribution.
- ✗
Managed Open In restriction
Why it's wrong here
Managed Open In prevents corporate data from leaking into personal apps, but does not control app installation.
- ✓
Volume Purchase Program (VPP) with Managed Distribution
Why this is correct
VPP with managed distribution allows silent installation and revocation of app licenses without user Apple IDs.
- ✗
Enterprise App Sideloading via Developer Profiles
Why it's wrong here
Sideloading via developer profiles bypasses App Store vetting and is insecure for standard enterprise management.
