MS-900 Practice Question: A company with 120 users needs desktop Office…
A company with 120 users needs desktop Office apps, Intune device management, and enhanced security. Which option best matches the requirement?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse Microsoft Defender for Cloud (a security monitoring tool for cloud infrastructure) with Microsoft Defender for Office 365 (an email and collaboration security service), leading them to incorrectly select Option A when they see 'enhanced security' without recognizing the missing Office apps and device management.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Microsoft 365 Business Premium
Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes desktop Office apps (Office 365 E3 equivalent), Intune for device management, and advanced security features such as Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Azure Information Protection, and Conditional Access. This bundle directly satisfies all three requirements for a 120-user organization without needing separate subscriptions.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Microsoft Defender for Cloud only
Why it's wrong here
Defender for Cloud protects cloud workloads and servers; it supplies none of the three requirements — desktop Office apps, Intune device management, or the bundled identity and threat protection of a Microsoft 365 plan. It is tempting because it is a Microsoft security product, and would be correct when the requirement is cloud workload protection posture.
- ✗
Azure Virtual Desktop only
Why it's wrong here
Azure Virtual Desktop delivers remote session desktops, not locally installed Office apps, Intune device management or the security stack the 120 users need. It is tempting because it provides Office in a virtualised form, and would be correct for organisations wanting centralised, session-based desktop hosting rather than per-device licensing.
- ✗
A free personal Microsoft account only
Why it's wrong here
A free personal Microsoft account provides no commercial licensing, so it cannot deliver desktop Office apps, Intune device management, or enhanced security controls for 120 users. It is tempting because it grants basic access to Microsoft services, and would be correct for an individual signing into personal apps, not an enterprise subscription.
- ✓
Microsoft 365 Business Premium
Why this is correct
Microsoft 365 Business Premium bundles desktop Office apps, Intune device management and Defender for Business security for up to 300 users, so 120 users qualify. It uniquely satisfies all three stated requirements in one licence.
