Correct answer & explanation
✓
Intune device cleanup rules
Intune device cleanup rules allow you to automatically retire or delete devices that have not checked in for a specified period, such as 30 days. Option B is incorrect because conditional access policies control access to resources based on conditions, not device cleanup. Option C is incorrect because device compliance policies evaluate device compliance based on conditions, not retirement from inactivity.
