The answer is to assign the Company Portal app as 'Required' with the 'Removable' setting to No. This configuration works because Intune’s managed app assignment allows you to control end-user behavior by marking a required app as non-removable, which locks the app on the device and disables the user’s ability to delete it from the home screen. On the MD-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of Intune app assignment types and their granular settings, often appearing as a straightforward scenario where you must distinguish between 'Required' and 'Available' assignments. A common trap is confusing the 'Block removal' option, which does not exist as an assignment setting, or assuming 'Available' prevents removal—it does not, as that type only offers optional installation. Remember the memory tip: "Required and locked, removal is blocked."
