The correct answer to the question is C. From the Exchange admin center, create a mail flow rule.

Explanation: Microsoft Office 365 Message Encryption (OME) is a feature that allows users to send encrypted emails to recipients outside of their organization. It can be used to protect sensitive information and ensure that only the intended recipient can access the message.

To automatically encrypt emails containing attachments sent to user1@contoso.com using OME, we need to create a mail flow rule. Here are the steps to create the mail flow rule:

  1. Log in to the Exchange admin center.
  2. Go to Mail flow > Rules.
  3. Click the + (plus) button and select Create a new rule.
  4. In the Name box, enter a name for the rule (e.g., Encrypt emails with attachments to user1@contoso.com).
  5. Under Apply this rule if, select The recipient is.
  6. In the Specify recipients box, enter user1@contoso.com.
  7. Under Do the following, select Modify the message security.
  8. Under Encryption, select Encrypt the message with Office 365 Message Encryption.
  9. Click Save to save the rule.

After the rule is created, any emails containing attachments sent to user1@contoso.com will be automatically encrypted using OME.

Option A, creating a new sharing policy, is not relevant to the task of automatically encrypting emails with attachments to a specific recipient.

Option B, creating a Safe Attachments policy, is used to protect against malware and other threats by scanning email attachments before they are delivered to recipients. It is not used for encrypting emails.

Option D, configuring an auto-apply retention label policy, is used to automatically apply retention labels to content based on specific conditions. It is not used for encrypting emails.
