From which navigation path in the Microsoft 365 admin center do you configure release preferences for the tenant?

ASetup > Sign-in and security > Manage feature updates page
BSettings > Org settings > Organization profile > Release preferences Correct
CHealth > Message center > Preferences > Release ring selector
DSettings > Integrated apps > Release preferences page for tenant

Release preferences live under Settings > Org settings > Organization profile in the Microsoft 365 admin center. The release ring selector lives on the Organization profile tab under Settings > Org settings, where you choose Standard release, Targeted release for everyone, or Targeted release for selected users.

Why A is wrong: Setup hosts wizards for security and onboarding tasks, not the release ring selector.

Why B is correct: Correct. The release ring selector lives on the Organization profile tab under Settings > Org settings, where you choose Standard release, Targeted release for everyone, or Targeted release for selected users.

Why C is wrong: Message center preferences control digest emails, not which release ring the tenant is on.

Why D is wrong: Integrated apps manages third-party app deployment, not the Microsoft 365 release schedule.

Exam traps in Deploy and Manage a Microsoft 365 Tenant

Answers that look right on this material and are not. Each one is a distractor from a different question in the MS-102 bank for this domain.

Helpdesk Administrator
Why it is wrong: Helpdesk Administrator can reset passwords and force user sign-outs, which is user-data access and exceeds the requirement.
The Microsoft 365 admin center manages a unique set of roles that are separate from Microsoft Entra roles.
Why it is wrong: The Microsoft 365 admin center surfaces Entra roles, not a separate role set; both interfaces ultimately manage the same Entra directory roles.
No
Why it is wrong: Saying No would assume immediate purge, which is not how soft-delete works in Microsoft Entra ID.
