MS-900 Describe Microsoft 365 apps and services Practice Question
A project team needs to collaborate on forms-based surveys and quizzes and co-author related Office files. Which two Microsoft 365 capabilities are most relevant?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse Microsoft Forms with other survey tools like Excel Online or Microsoft Lists, or mistakenly think Exchange anti-malware policy is relevant for collaboration, when it is solely an email security control.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
SharePoint Online document storage
SharePoint Online provides document storage and co-authoring capabilities, enabling team members to simultaneously edit Office files (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint) stored in document libraries. Microsoft Forms allows the team to create forms-based surveys and quizzes, with responses automatically collected and easily exportable to Excel for analysis.

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Exchange anti-malware policy
Why it's wrong here
Exchange anti-malware policies are security filters that scan inbound and outbound email messages for malicious software in transit, protecting the mail flow within Exchange Online. They do not provide a shared repository for project documents, nor do they support co-authoring or version control for Office files. While a project team may rely on email for communication, this policy is not a collaboration workspace for surveys or related deliverables.
- ✓
SharePoint Online document storage
Why this is correct
SharePoint Online provides the foundational document storage and versioning capabilities necessary for project teams to co-author Office files. Its integration across Microsoft 365 enables multiple users to simultaneously edit Word, Excel, or PowerPoint documents related to their forms-based surveys and quizzes. This directly satisfies the requirement for co-authoring related Office files, facilitating efficient collaboration and centralised access for the team.
- ✓
Microsoft Forms
Why this is correct
Microsoft Forms is a lightweight survey tool for designing forms, quizzes, and polls and collecting response data in real time. However, it does not provide document storage or a workspace for co-authoring related Office files; any collaboration on the underlying Word, Excel, or PowerPoint artifacts must happen in SharePoint Online (or OneDrive). Thus Forms is complementary for data collection but cannot satisfy the requirement for a shared, versioned document repository.
- ✗
Microsoft Purview eDiscovery case
Why it's wrong here
A Microsoft Purview eDiscovery case is used to identify, hold, and export content as part of legal or regulatory investigations, with features like legal hold and search across mailboxes and sites. It is not a collaborative workspace for project teams to create or co-author Office files related to surveys. Using an eDiscovery case for this purpose would be both functionally inappropriate and a misuse of compliance tooling.
