MS-900 Describe Microsoft 365 apps and services Practice Question

Exhibit

{
  "properties": {
    "displayName": "Contoso Marketing Campaign",
    "description": "Campaign assets and documents",
    "webUrl": "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/MarketingCampaign",
    "siteCollection": {
      "hostname": "contoso.sharepoint.com",
      "root": { "webTempate": "GROUP#0" }
    }
  }
}

Refer to the exhibit. A SharePoint admin views site properties in JSON format. What type of site is this?

⚠ Common exam trap

Candidates often confuse the presence of a 'GroupId' with a hub site's association ID, or assume that any modern site (including communication sites) would have a group ID, when in fact only group-connected team sites include this property in their JSON output.

Answer choices

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

✓

Team site (group-connected)

The JSON output includes the 'GroupId' property, which is a GUID that uniquely identifies the Microsoft 365 Group associated with the site. This property is only present on team sites that are connected to a Microsoft 365 Group (group-connected team sites). Communication sites and classic team sites do not have a GroupId, and hub sites are a site association feature, not a site template.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
Communication site
Why it's wrong here
A communication site uses the SITEPAGEPUBLISHING#0 template, a publishing-focused modern template designed for broadcasting news and information to a broad audience. It does not use a Microsoft 365 group, so the exhibit's GROUP#0 identifier cannot be a communication site. The group-based template is the definitive mismatch.
✗
Classic team site
Why it's wrong here
A classic team site is provisioned with the STS#0 template, which is the legacy SharePoint team site model without a connected Microsoft 365 group. Since the exhibit shows GROUP#0 rather than STS#0, it is not a classic team site, because classic sites never carry the modern group-connected template identifier.
✗
Hub site
Why it's wrong here
A hub site is not a site template; it is an organizational feature that can be enabled on an existing communication site or team site. When you inspect site properties, a hub site still reports its original template ID, such as GROUP#0, and its hub association is stored separately in the HubSiteId property. Therefore, seeing GROUP#0 tells you the site type (group-connected team site), not that it is a hub site.
✓
Team site (group-connected)
Why this is correct
The GROUP#0 template defines a modern team site connected to a Microsoft 365 group, which is exactly what the exhibit shows. This site type includes group membership, a shared mailbox and calendar, and group-based permissions, and it is created when a user provisions 'Team site' from SharePoint. It is the correct classification because GROUP#0 directly matches the group-connected team site template.
