Question

Note: This section contains one or more sets of questions with the same scenario and problem. Each question presents a unique solution to the problem. You must determine whether the solution meets the stated goals. More than one solution in the set might solve the problem. It is also possible that none of the solutions in the set solve the problem. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return. As a result, these questions do not appear on the Review Screen. You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription and use Microsoft Defender for Office 365.

Why each option

Creating only an anti-phishing policy does not meet the goal of applying a balanced baseline protection profile against spam, phishing, and malware, as it exclusively addresses phishing threats.

AYes

An anti-phishing policy alone is insufficient to provide protection against spam and malware, therefore failing to establish a balanced baseline protection profile against all three specified threat types.

BNoCorrect

An anti-phishing policy specifically configures protection against phishing attacks and does not provide a comprehensive, balanced baseline protection against spam and malware, as required by the goal. To achieve a balanced baseline protection profile, policies for anti-malware and anti-spam must also be configured, or a preset security policy should be utilized.
