Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Entitlement Management
Why this is correct
Entitlement Management is a core Microsoft Entra ID Governance capability, letting organisations bundle resources into access packages with assignment policies, approval workflows and expiry. It directly satisfies the governance requirement by automating the access request, approval and lifecycle process rather than leaving entitlement assignment to manual administration.
- ✗
Self-service password reset
Why it's wrong here
Self-service password reset sits within Microsoft Entra ID authentication methods, not Entra ID Governance. It tempts because it reduces helpdesk load, so it would be the answer for core Entra ID password management rather than governance capabilities such as entitlement management or access reviews.
- ✗
Identity Protection
Why it's wrong here
Identity Protection is a Microsoft Entra ID risk-detection service, not part of Entra ID Governance. It tempts because it surfaces risky users and sign-ins, so it would be the answer for automated risk-based remediation rather than governance capabilities such as entitlement management.
- ✓
Access Reviews
Why this is correct
Access Reviews is a core Microsoft Entra ID Governance capability, enabling recurring attestation of group memberships, application assignments and privileged role eligibility. Reviewers certify continued access, and decisions are applied automatically, satisfying the governance requirement for periodic recertification of entitlements rather than one-off provisioning.
- ✗
Conditional Access
Why it's wrong here
Conditional Access is a Microsoft Entra ID access-control policy engine, not a Governance capability. It tempts because it enforces access decisions, so it would be correct for zero-trust signal-based policy enforcement rather than governance features like lifecycle workflows or access reviews.
