Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure Customer-Managed Keys (CMK) for the search service.
Why this is correct
CMKs are the standard method for ensuring encryption at rest for Azure AI Search.
- ✗
Enable TLS 1.3 on the search service.
Why it's wrong here
TLS is for data in transit, not data at rest.
- ✗
Disable public network access.
Why it's wrong here
Network security does not equate to data at rest encryption.
- ✗
Enable Always Encrypted on the Cosmos DB container.
Why it's wrong here
Always Encrypted is a SQL Server feature, not an Azure AI Search configuration.
