Microsoft 365 unified auditing helps to track activities performed in the different Microsoft 365 services by both users and admins. Basic auditing is enabled by default for most Microsoft 365 organizations. In the Basic audit, audit records are retained and searchable for the last 90 days.

Correct D 180 days now!
Ref: The default retention period for Audit (Standard) has changed from 90 days to 180 days. Audit (Standard) logs generated before October 17, 2023 are retained for 90 days. Audit (Standard) logs generated on or after October 17, 2023 follow the new default retention of 180 days.
The answer is D, 180 days. The default retention period for Audit has changed from 90 days to 180 days as of October 17, 2023. Logs generated before this date are retained for 90 days, while those generated on or after following the new 180-day retention policy
Be careful, there has been an update here:
With a Microsoft 365 E3 subscription, when using the unified audit log and Basic Audit, the audit records are retained for 180 days. This updated retention period applies to audit logs generated on or after October 17, 2023. Prior to this date, the retention period for Basic Audit was 90 days. It’s important to note that this is the default retention period and it can be extended up to 10 years with additional licenses.
