Microsoft 365 Mobility and Security (legacy) — Question 154

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 Security & Compliance admin center, create a label and a label policy.
• B. From the Exchange admin center, create a mail flow rule.
• C. From Microsoft 365 Defender, start a message trace.
• 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 Security & Compliance admin center allows you to classify and retain emails based on specific criteria, such as containing the word ProjectX. The other options do not serve the purpose of preserving copies of emails; for instance, a mail flow rule (option B) is used to manage the flow of emails rather than retaining them.
