Why each option

To limit cellular data usage on a Windows 10 tablet, the administrator should configure the connection as metered.

ATurn on airplane mode.

Turning on airplane mode completely disables all wireless communications, including cellular data, which would prevent any use of the cellular network whatsoever.

BSet the connection to be metered.Correct

Setting a cellular connection as metered in Windows 10 tells the operating system to conserve data by restricting background data usage, such as automatic app updates, live tile updates, and synchronization. This directly addresses the requirement to limit cellular data utilization without completely disabling the connection, making it ideal for travel scenarios.

CConfigure the device to use a static IP address.

Configuring a static IP address for a cellular connection is not typically done and would not directly limit data usage; it is related to network configuration, not data consumption policies.

DEnable the Windows Defender Firewall.

Enabling the Windows Defender Firewall manages network traffic by blocking or allowing connections based on rules but does not inherently limit data consumption or background usage in the way a metered connection does.
