If you use a retention label to mark legal files stored in a Microsoft SharePoint Online document library as regulatory records, you cannot remove the retention label of the files or delete the content from the files, as this would violate the records management policy that is in place.

The correct answer is C. Move the files to a different folder within the document library. This option would allow you to move the files to a different folder, which might have different retention policies or labels applied. For example, you could move the files to a folder with a retention policy that is longer or shorter than the current retention label applied to the files, depending on your organization's retention policy requirements.

Option B, Edit the properties of the files, may allow you to update metadata or other properties of the files, but it would not affect the retention label applied to the files or their retention policies.

Option A, Remove the retention label of the files, is not recommended because the retention label is applied to the files to ensure they are managed according to legal and regulatory requirements.

Option D, Delete the content from the files, is not recommended as it would violate the records management policy and could result in legal or compliance issues for your organization.
