Correct answer. Basically, some administrative roles, by design can only use strong, two-gate password reset policy, regardles of SSPR settings. User Administrator and Password Administrator will be always forced to use two methods and cannot use security questions. Securiry Reader and User will use whatever is set under SSPR, so security questions in this case. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-sspr-policy#administrator-reset-policy-differences

Selected Answer: A
User1 (User Administrator) – Admins are not allowed to use security questions for SSPR because it’s considered a weaker authentication method. User2 (Password Administrator) – As an admin role, User2 cannot use security questions for SSPR. User3 (Security Reader) – Security roles are still considered privileged, so User3 cannot use security questions for SSPR. User4 (Standard User) – User4, being a regular user with no admin privileges, can use security questions for SSPR, as they’re the target audience for this method.

Shouldn't it be A since Security Reader is an Admin and Admins can't use security questions? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/concept-authentication-security-questions

Security Reader account can use security questions as a verification method for Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR). Security questions are not used during sign-in but can be used during the SSPR process to confirm the user’s identity. However, it’s important to note that while security questions can be enabled for non-administrative roles, they are generally considered less secure than other methods
