Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create a scan rule set that includes built-in classification rules for sensitive data types.
In Microsoft Purview, you can create scan rule sets that include built-in classification rules to automatically detect sensitive data types during scanning. Option A is incorrect because sensitivity labels are applied after classification, not for detection. Option B is incorrect because Microsoft Defender for Cloud's data sensitivity discovery is a different feature; Purview itself handles classification. Option C is incorrect because Azure Policy enforces compliance rules, not data classification at the file level.
