Correct answer & explanation
✓
Device compliance policy
Device compliance policies enforce security requirements like passcode length at the device level. Option A (App protection policy) is incorrect because it targets app-level data protection, not device settings. Option B (Enrollment restriction) is incorrect because it controls which devices can enroll but does not enforce passcode requirements. Option C (Device configuration policy) is incorrect because it configures device settings but does not enforce compliance with policies.
