Answer: A

Explanation:

This solution meets the requirements:

✑ Users must be able to authenticate successfully to Microsoft 365 services if Active Directory becomes unavailable. (this is because the authentication is performed by Azure Active Directory).

✑ Users passwords must be 10 characters or more. (the Default Domain Policy in the on-premise Active Directory can be configured to require the password length)
