Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies can detect sensitive information such as credit card numbers in Exchange Online emails (A), detect sensitive information in Microsoft Teams messages (C), and detect passport numbers in SharePoint Online documents (E). Option B is incorrect because blocking network traffic from suspicious IP addresses is a network security feature, not a DLP capability.
