Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation

Configure a passcode policy in the iOS device management settings
Apple devices (iOS) are encrypted by default when a passcode is set. Therefore, enforcing a passcode policy effectively enforces encryption.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable Advanced Mobile Management for all iOS users
Why it's wrong here
While Advanced management is needed, it is not a setting itself, but a tier of service.
- ✗
Use an MDM profile to force file-level encryption
Why it's wrong here
This is not a specific setting available in Google Workspace MDM.
- ✓
Configure a passcode policy in the iOS device management settings
Why this is correct
Enforcing a passcode on iOS devices ensures the data partition is encrypted.
- ✗
Enable the 'Require disk encryption' setting in iOS mobile settings
Why it's wrong here
There is no such specific setting for iOS in Google Admin, as it is handled by the OS upon passcode activation.
