Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Azure AD Password Protection detects, and blocks known weak passwords and their variants and can also block additional weak terms that are specific to your organization.
With Azure AD Password Protection, default global banned password lists are automatically applied to all users in an Azure AD tenant. To support your own business and security needs, you can define entries in a custom banned password list.
Enforce on-premises Azure AD Password Protection for Active Directory Domain Services
Azure AD Password Protection detects, and blocks known weak passwords and their variants and can also block additional weak terms that are specific to your organization. On-premises deployment of Azure AD Password Protection uses the same global and custom banned password lists that are stored in Azure AD and does the same checks for on-premises password changes as Azure AD does for cloud-based changes. These checks are performed during password changes and password reset events against on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain controllers.
