Why each option

Forced pin locks prevent unauthorized access to the device itself, directly protecting Exchange email if the device is lost or stolen.

ARemote backup applications

Remote backup applications protect data recovery but do not prevent an unauthorized person from accessing the email account on the device.

BAntivirus

Antivirus software protects against malware but does not restrict physical access to the device or the email account.

CLocator applications

Locator applications help find a lost device but do not prevent an attacker from accessing the email account while the device is in their possession.

DForced pin locksCorrect

Forced pin locks require authentication before the device can be unlocked, ensuring that even if the tablet is physically lost or stolen, an attacker cannot open the device and access the Exchange email account. This is the most direct control against unauthorized access resulting from device loss, and Exchange ActiveSync policies support enforcing pin lock requirements remotely.
