Microsoft 365 Mobility and Security (legacy) — Question 167

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.
You define a retention label that has the following settings:
✑ Retention period: 7 years
✑ Start the retention period based on: When items were created
You need to prevent the removal of the label once the label is applied to a file.
What should you select in the retention label settings?

Answer options

• A. Mark items as a regulatory record
• B. Mark items as a record
• C. Retain items forever
• D. Retain items even if users delete

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Selecting 'Mark items as a regulatory record' ensures that once the retention label is applied, it cannot be removed, thereby enforcing compliance. The other options either do not prevent removal or do not align with the requirement for regulatory compliance.
