Correct answer & explanation
✓
Provision Power BI Premium capacity in the US region
Provisioning Power BI Premium capacity in the US region and assigning workspaces to that capacity enforces data residency in the US. Option A is incorrect because Microsoft Entra ID location does not control Power BI data storage. Option B is incorrect because data classification labels do not enforce physical data location. Option C is incorrect because setting the workspace region is only available with Premium capacity, but without Premium capacity, the workspace region defaults to the tenant home region and cannot be changed.
