Selected Answer: C

Answer) C The question is telling you that their phone will not have cellular access and no WiFi to connect to at the remote location. Although Microsoft Authenticator is able to work offline, answer "A" is wrong because the MS Authenticator App will not be able to get a notification. So the only other MFA option listed that will work is Windows Hello for Business.

Selected Answer: C

C: Windows Hello for Business is a passwordless authentication method that uses biometrics (fingerprint, facial recognition) or PINs to authenticate users. It does not require internet or mobile network access at the time of authentication because the credentials are stored securely on the device and validated locally.

Microsoft Authenticator has two main ways to authenticate users: 1: A notification through the Microsoft Authenticator app" it refers to push notifications, which require an internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data). 2: A verification code from the Microsoft Authenticator app" The phrase "a verification code" suggests the use of a time-based one-time password (TOTP) Because TOTP works offline, this is a valid MFA method for remote users. Authenticator Method Mentioned Needs Internet? "A notification" (Push Notification) ✅ Yes "A verification code" (TOTP Code) ❌ No

You dont have cellular Connection so SMS wont Work An App passcode is Not a MFA at all, its just an on-top Security layer As mentioned from Cepheid a Hotspot could be used but IT was never mentioned in the question. You cant tell If the Hotspot Feature is disabled by Policy... Windows hello is the only correct answer, even if the Laptop does not have any biometics sensor you can use a PIN

Technically speaking, the user can then use their laptop as a mobile hotspot for that wired connection and then connect their phone to wifi. Thus, the Authenticator App is also a possible solution. The question has poor wording, we don't know if this refers to the cloud or just signing in to the PC.

Microsoft Authenticator Approve sign-ins from a mobile app using push notifications, biometrics, or one-time passcodes. Windows Hello for Business Replace your passwords with strong two-factor authentication (2FA) on Windows 10 devices. Use a credential tied to your device along with a PIN, a fingerprint, or facial recognition to protect your accounts.

Selected Answer: C

The answer C is correct . The question states " The users frequently work from remote locations that do not have Wi-Fi access or mobile phone connectivity ". so there is no way a user would get a notification through Microsoft Authenticator App. Windows Hello for business is also considered an MFA authentication method for Azure AD registered and Joined devices
