Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question

A retention policy can automatically apply the same retain-and-delete settings to entire Microsoft 365 locations such as Exchange mailboxes and Microsoft Teams chats. Because it is configured centrally and scoped to the locations, users do not need to apply anything to individual items. Retention labels can achieve similar outcomes but must be applied to each item (manually, by auto-labeling, or via a policy) and are typically used for more granular control. Sensitivity labels handle data protection, not retention actions. Litigation hold preserves data indefinitely for eDiscovery and does not provide timed deletion.
