Explanation

When deploying content filters, best practice is to limit initial scope and validate logic before live deployment. Option B is correct because applying the filter to a test mail policy scoped to a single sender or recipient lets you observe real behavior without risking disruption to the broader user base. Option C is correct because running the built-in filter test menu lets you verify the filter's logic and actions against sample messages before it touches any live mail policy - catching errors early with zero production risk.

Option A is a distractor: the trace tool is a useful diagnostic utility for troubleshooting mail flow, but it is not specifically a content filter deployment best practice. Option D is also a distractor: BCC-to-admin may seem like a safety net, but it creates privacy, compliance, and inbox-flooding concerns and is not a recommended deployment step.

Memory tip: Think "Test Small, Test First" - B = small scope (one mailbox), C = test first (filter test menu). Both reduce risk before you go wide.
