A.

Based on the scenario, the sales users in the company frequently invite potential customers to Microsoft Teams meetings, but the potential customers do not have guest accounts. This means that the potential customers are unable to join the meetings because they do not have a valid account to sign in to Teams. To enable the potential customers to join the meetings, you need to configure the system to allow guest access.

Option A: Enable the Anonymous users can join a meeting in the Meeting settings. This option will allow anyone with the meeting link to join the meeting without requiring authentication. However, this option is not recommended as it may compromise the security and confidentiality of the meeting, as anyone can join the meeting without any authentication or authorization.

Option B: Configure the Automatically admit users to Everyone setting in the global meeting policy. This option will automatically admit all users to the meeting without requiring manual approval. However, this option is not recommended as it may also compromise the security of the meeting, as any user can join the meeting without any authentication or authorization.

Option C: Enable the Allow guest access in Teams in the Org-wide settings. This is the correct option to allow potential customers to join the meetings. Enabling guest access in Teams will allow external users who do not have a Microsoft account to join the Teams meetings as a guest. The Org-wide settings option allows all users in the organization to invite guests to join the Teams meetings, including the sales users who frequently invite potential customers.

Option D: Configure the Automatically admit users to Everyone in your organization setting in the global meeting policy. This option will automatically admit all users within the organization to the meeting without requiring manual approval. However, this option will not allow external users who do not have a Microsoft account to join the Teams meetings as a guest.

In conclusion, Option C is the correct answer as it enables guest access in Teams, which allows external users who do not have a Microsoft account to join the Teams meetings as a guest.
