A
password expiration

D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Maximum Password Age policy determines how long users can keep a password before they are required to change it. This policy forces the user to change their passwords regularly. To ensure a network’s security you should set the value to 90 days for passwords and 180 days for passphrases.

Detailed explanation-2: -Default value: 90 days. If the tenant was created after 2021, it has no default expiration value. You can check current policy with Get-MsolPasswordPolicy. The value is configurable by using the Set-MsolPasswordPolicy cmdlet from the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Enforce password history policy setting determines the number of unique new passwords that must be associated with a user account before an old password can be reused.
