Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Distractor review
Create a retention label with auto-labeling based on sensitive info types
Retention labels manage retention and deletion, not protection or mandatory labeling.
B
Best answer
Create a sensitivity label with auto-labeling and set 'Mark content as mandatory'
This combination automatically labels content and prevents users from removing the label.
C
Distractor review
Use Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) unified labeling client to apply labels
The MIP unified labeling client is deprecated and not recommended for new implementations.
D
Distractor review
Configure Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy to apply the label
DLP policies can enforce actions like blocking but cannot automatically apply sensitivity labels.
