Explanation

The correct approach uses Microsoft Entra Conditional Access to create a sign-in risk-based policy that enforces MFA when sign-in risk is detected at the 'High' level. By navigating to Protection > Conditional Access, creating a new policy, setting the condition to 'Sign-in risk: High', requiring MFA as the grant control, including 'All users' under assignments, and excluding 'Mod Administrator' specifically, you fulfill both requirements. This method leverages Entra ID Protection's risk signals integrated with Conditional Access, which is the modern and recommended approach for risk-based MFA enforcement.
