Why each option

No, an access policy in Defender for Cloud Apps is designed to control app access or session redirection, not to prevent specific content like PII from being sent in email messages.

AYes

An access policy in Defender for Cloud Apps controls user access to applications, but it does not scan the content of emails for sensitive information like PII to prevent it from being sent. This task requires a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy.

BNoCorrect

An access policy in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps focuses on controlling access to cloud applications based on various conditions, or redirecting sessions for deeper inspection. It is not designed to scan email content for PII and prevent its transmission; that functionality is provided by Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies within Microsoft Purview.
