Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Microsoft 365 Business Basic
Microsoft 365 Business Basic is designed for small businesses and provides essential services like email (Exchange Online), online meetings (Teams), cloud storage (OneDrive, SharePoint), and web versions of Office apps at a cost-effective price point.
Why the other options are wrong
