Why each option

To enforce stricter user passwords, an administrator should configure the minimum password length and set specific password complexity requirements within the Salesforce password policies.

APrevent common words

While preventing common words is a good security practice, it is not a standard, declaratively configurable option directly within Salesforce password policies, which primarily focus on length and character types.

BPassword different than username

'Password different than username' is a security best practice and often implicitly enforced or recommended, but it's not a distinct, separate configuration option in Salesforce's password policy settings like length or complexity.

CMinimum password lengthCorrect

Configuring a minimum password length ensures that users create longer passwords, which are generally more difficult to guess or crack, thereby increasing security.

DPassword complexity requirementCorrect

Setting password complexity requirements, such as including a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters, makes passwords much stronger and harder to brute-force.
