The correct answer is A. Security reader. To allow User1 to view Microsoft Defender for Office 365 reports in the Threat management dashboard, you should assign them the Security reader role. The Security reader role provides users with read-only access to security-related features and settings in Microsoft 365. This role specifically includes permissions to view reports, including those in Microsoft Defender for Office 365. By assigning User1 the Security reader role, they will have the necessary permissions to access and review the reports in the Threat management dashboard.

The Compliance administrator role (option B) is focused on managing compliance-related features and settings, such as data retention, eDiscovery, and information protection. It does not directly grant permissions to view Defender for Office 365 reports. The Information Protection administrator role (option C) is responsible for managing information protection and data classification features. While it may have some relevant permissions, it does not specifically provide access to view Defender for Office 365 reports. The Exchange administrator role (option D) primarily focuses on managing Exchange Online features and settings. While it may have access to certain security-related configurations, it does not grant direct permissions to view Defender for Office 365 reports.
