You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains a Microsoft SharePoint Online site named Site1. You need to implement Microsoft Purview data…

To implement Microsoft Purview data lifecycle management, the foundational step is to define the retention and disposition rules. This is accomplished by creating a retention label. A retention label is a specific configuration that dictates how long a piece of content should be kept and what should happen to it after that period (e.g., delete, start a disposition review). Once a retention label is created, it can then be published via a retention label policy for users to apply manually, or applied automatically via an auto-labeling policy. Therefore, creating the label itself is the prerequisite first action.

A. a sensitivity label policy: Incorrect. Sensitivity labels and their policies are part of Microsoft Purview Information Protection, used for classifying and protecting data (e.g., encryption), not for managing its retention lifecycle.

B. a data loss prevention (DLP) policy: Incorrect. DLP policies are designed to prevent the accidental or intentional leakage of sensitive information, not to manage the retention and deletion of data.

C. an auto-labeling policy: Incorrect. An auto-labeling policy is used to apply an existing retention label automatically. You must create the retention label first before you can create a policy to apply it.

1. Microsoft Learn. (2024). Learn about retention policies and retention labels. "To manage the lifecycle of content

you typically use retention labels... The overall process for retention labels: 1. Create and configure retention labels... 2. Publish retention labels by using a retention label policy... 3. Auto-apply retention labels by using an auto-labeling policy." This clearly shows creating the label is step one.

2. Microsoft Learn. (2024). Create and publish retention labels. The instructions for implementing retention labels begin with the section "How to create a retention label

" which precedes the sections on publishing or auto-applying them.
