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
✓
Require antivirus (Windows Defender)
The correct settings are 'Require antivirus (Windows Defender)' and 'Minimum OS version'. These are standard compliance policy settings for Windows devices in Microsoft Intune. 'Maximum OS version' is not typically used for compliance; instead, a minimum version ensures devices are up-to-date. 'Device type' is not a compliance setting. 'Storage encryption' is a compliance setting (Require BitLocker), but it is not required by the scenario's specific criteria.
