Explanation

Two steps are required. First (F): In Settings > Cloud App > Microsoft Information Protection, enable file monitoring/scanning so that Defender for Cloud Apps can inspect file content and sensitivity labels - without this, file policies cannot evaluate content or labels. Second (E): Navigate to Cloud apps > Files and select 'New policy from search' to create a file policy that defines conditions (e.g., files shared externally with a confidential sensitivity label) and configures alerts and governance actions (e.g., remove external sharing). Choice A and C reference partial paths to the Information Protection settings. Choices B and D filter the Files view but do not create a policy. Together, F (enable scanning) and E (create the policy) form the complete solution.
