Explanation

Screen capture protection in Azure Virtual Desktop is controlled via Group Policy on the session host itself - specifically the 'Enable screen capture protection' setting under the AVD ADMX templates. This cannot be configured through the host pool's RDP Properties display or session behavior settings in the Azure portal (ruling out A and D). Adding an extension (C) is not the mechanism for screen capture protection. While applying the GPO to each host requires some effort, it is the only technically valid method available among the options. In practice, linking the GPO to the OU containing all session hosts minimizes repeated effort.
