Explanation

In Microsoft Purview data lifecycle management, a retention label is the foundational building block. All other elements depend on it: auto-labeling policies (C) apply retention labels automatically, retention policies can use labels, and DLP policies (B) reference labels but serve a different purpose entirely. You must create the retention label first before you can publish it, use it in an auto-labeling policy, or apply it to content in SharePoint. A sensitivity label policy (A) belongs to information protection, not data lifecycle management. Creating the retention label first ensures you have a defined set of retention settings (retain, delete, or both) that subsequent policies and configurations can reference.
