Explanation
The correct answer is A: Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Defender for Cloud natively supports multicloud environments (Azure, AWS, and GCP) and provides built-in regulatory compliance dashboards that automatically monitor compliance against frameworks (e.g., NIST, CIS, PCI-DSS) with no manual connector setup. It surfaces prioritized, actionable improvement recommendations with detailed implementation guidance and continuously reassesses posture across all three clouds. Compliance Manager connectors (B) require additional setup per cloud and increase administrative overhead. Defender for Cloud Apps (C) focuses on SaaS app discovery and CASB capabilities, not multicloud IaaS/PaaS compliance. Microsoft Sentinel (D) is a SIEM/SOAR platform, not a compliance assessment solution.
