Correct answer & explanation
✓
Retention label with disposition review after the trigger event
A retention label with a disposition review after a trigger event can automate deletion after a specified period (7 years) triggered by an event (invoice payment). Option A is incorrect because a disposition review label requires manual review before deletion, whereas the requirement is automatic deletion. Option B is incorrect because a retention policy applies to all documents in a location and cannot be scoped to specific items based on metadata like payment date. Option D is incorrect because sensitivity labels are for classification and protection, not retention management.
