Correct answer & explanation
✓
Access Reviews
Access Reviews (B) is a core Microsoft Entra ID Governance capability that lets organizations automate periodic reviews of group memberships, application access, and role assignments to ensure users retain only the access they need. Entitlement Management (C) is also part of Entra ID Governance, providing access packages, catalogs, and policies to automate the request, approval, assignment, and expiration of access for internal and external users. These two features directly address governance concerns such as access lifecycle management, least privilege, and compliance attestation. Privileged Identity Management (A) is a separate Microsoft Entra ID service focused on just-in-time privileged role activation, while Conditional Access (D) is an access-control policy engine and Identity Protection (E) is a risk-detection and remediation service; neither is categorized as an Entra ID Governance capability.
