C. Team channel messages: This option will retain all files shared within the Teams channels, including files shared during meetings, posts, and replies in the Teams channels.
E. Team chats: This option will retain all files shared in private chat conversations between users in Teams. This can include one-on-one conversations as well as group chats.
So the correct options are C and E.
It's important to note that selecting these locations alone won't be enough to retain all the files. You must also configure the retention policy with the appropriate retention settings. For example, you can specify a retention period for the files, and whether they should be retained only if they meet certain criteria (such as containing sensitive information). You can also configure the policy to notify users when their files are about to be deleted.
Additionally, it's worth noting that selecting other locations, such as OneDrive accounts, Office 365 groups, SharePoint sites, or Exchange email, won't necessarily ensure that Teams conversations and private chats are retained. These locations may contain files that were shared in Teams, but they may not capture all of the files and conversations that you want to retain.
