Answer is C. The key word here is *Classified"*, I asked Google if can Peripherals are managed via MDM. this is the response "Yes, mobile device management (MDM) can manage peripherals. MDM is software that organizations use to remotely monitor, manage, and secure mobile devices, including laptops, tablets, smartphones, printers, and POS devices. MDM can also control how accessories are accessed on Apple devices. For example, MDM solutions can use the allowUSBRestrictedMode restriction to always allow accessories"

Agreed, C has to be the answer. I don't believe you would have insufficient permissions on your own drive at home(B).

C The most likely issue that prevents the user’s mobile device from saving pictures to an external drive at home is that the peripherals are managed via MDM (mobile device management). MDM is a software solution that allows an organization to remotely control, secure, and enforce policies on mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops. MDM can also restrict the access and functionality of the peripherals, such as external drives, cameras, microphones, or printers, that are connected to the mobile devices.

One of the possible reasons why the user’s mobile device can back up classified files to an external hard drive at work but not save pictures to an external drive at home is that the MDM policy allows only authorized peripherals to be used with the mobile device. For example, the MDM policy may require the external drive to have a certain encryption level, a specific serial number, or a valid certificate to be recognized by the mobile device. The external drive at work may meet these criteria, while the external drive at home may not. Therefore, the mobile device can back up the classified files to the external drive at work, but it cannot save the pictures to the external drive at home.

To resolve this issue, the user may need to contact the IT administrator or the MDM provider and request permission to use the external drive at home. Alternatively, the user may need to use a different method to transfer the pictures from the mobile device to the external drive, such as using a cloud service, a wireless network, or a USB cable.

It's definitely C, all work phones are managed via MDM and it often prevents you from moving business data onto home devices.

Selected Answer: C
MDM stands for Mobile Device Management and it's the technology that companies use to enforce BYOD policies. It gices the organization granular control over what the user can do with certain info, which includes moving information to an external, unmanaged device that isn't the companies.

Selected Answer: B
The most likely issue in this scenario is: B. The drive permissions are insufficient. Explanation: If the user can back up classified files to an external hard drive at work but cannot save pictures to an external drive at home, it suggests that the external drive at home may have insufficient permissions.
