   A multinational corporation is subject to a litigation hold that requires preserving all email and documents related to a specific product line. The company's cloud storage has automated lifecycle policies that archive data to cold storage after 90 days and delete data after 7 years. The legal team wants to ensure that relevant data is preserved without disrupting the lifecycle policies for unrelated data. What is the best approach?

   • AExtend the retention period for all data in the storage account to 10 years.
   • BApply a legal hold to the specific folders or objects related to the product line, which suspends deletion and archiving for those items.
   • CDisable the lifecycle policies for the entire storage account to prevent any data from being archived or deleted.
   • DCopy all relevant data to a separate archive bucket and then delete the original data.

   • CArchive all records to cold storage immediately and set a lifecycle rule to delete after 7 years, ignoring the lawsuit.
