Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Prevents accidental sharing of sensitive information.
Why this is correct
DLP policies identify, monitor, and protect sensitive data across Microsoft 365 services.
eDiscovery: Searches and exports content for legal investigations.
Why this is correct
eDiscovery enables organizations to find and export data from Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams for legal or compliance purposes.
Sensitivity Labels: Classifies and protects data with encryption and visual markings.
Why this is correct
Sensitivity labels allow administrators to classify data based on sensitivity and apply protection like encryption or watermarks.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Manages data retention and deletion policies.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — this describes Retention Policies, not DLP. DLP focuses on preventing data leaks, not lifecycle management.
eDiscovery: Applies automatic classification based on content patterns.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — this describes auto-labeling or trainable classifiers, not eDiscovery. eDiscovery is about search and export.
