Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The device has not been enrolled in the corporate Wi-Fi network
Why it's wrong here
Wi-Fi enrollment is not a prerequisite for sync approval.
- ✓
The device is pending admin approval in the mobile devices list
Why this is correct
Advanced management often requires manual approval for new devices.
- ✗
The user's account is locked in the Admin console
Why it's wrong here
A locked account would result in authentication errors, not a 'Blocked' device status.
- ✗
The user has not installed the Google Device Policy app
Why it's wrong here
While necessary, the 'Blocked' status specifically implies the admin has not approved the device.
