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
✓
Sensitivity labels and policies.
The correct answers are Sensitivity labels and policies (C) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies (E). Sensitivity labels allow classification and protection of sensitive data at rest and in transit, while DLP policies help prevent unauthorized sharing of sensitive data. Option A (Audit) is incorrect because it only provides logging and monitoring, not direct data protection. Option B (Insider Risk Management) is incorrect as it focuses on detecting risky user behavior but does not directly protect data. Option D (eDiscovery) is designed for legal discovery and does not protect data.
