Microsoft 365 Mobility and Security (legacy) — Question 122

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription.

All users have their email stored in Microsoft Exchange Online.

In the mailbox of a user named User1, you need to preserve a copy of all the email messages that contain the word ProjectX.

What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. From the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, create a label and a label policy.
• B. From the Exchange admin center, create a mail flow rule.
• C. From the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, create a data loss prevention (DLP) policy.
• D. From Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, create an activity policy.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating a label and a label policy in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal allows you to tag and retain emails containing specific content, such as ProjectX. Option B, a mail flow rule, is more suited for routing or filtering emails rather than preserving them. Option C, a DLP policy, is typically used to prevent data breaches rather than to preserve emails. Option D relates to monitoring activities in cloud apps and does not address email preservation.
