Explanation

Setting a Password Timeout (Option A) is the correct approach because the "Set Password Timeout" IT policy specifically defines how long a device can remain idle before it automatically locks and requires a password - this is exactly the auto-lock-on-idle behavior described.

• B is wrong: "Delete all data and disable device" is a remote wipe/kill command, used when a device is lost or stolen - not for routine idle locking.
• C is wrong: Minimum password length controls complexity, not when the device locks.
• D is wrong: "Specify new device password and lock handheld" is a one-time remote lock command sent manually by an admin, not an automatic idle timeout policy.
• E is wrong: "Password Lockout" controls how many failed password attempts are allowed before lockout - it governs brute-force protection, not idle time.

Memory tip: Think "Timeout = Time-based." If the question involves time (idle, inactivity, after X minutes), look for a Timeout policy. If it involves attempts or failures, that's a Lockout policy.
