Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create an endpoint security disk encryption policy in Intune and assign it to the devices
The recommended approach is to create an endpoint security disk encryption policy in Intune (option A). Intune provides built-in FileVault settings under endpoint security disk encryption for macOS. Option B (Apple Configurator) is a local configuration tool, not an MDM solution, and cannot be used for remote management. Option C (manually enabling FileVault) is not scalable for enterprise deployment. Option D (JAMF Pro) is a third-party MDM, not Microsoft Intune.
