A. B. C. D.C.
The correct answer to this question is C. Create an Office 365 group and configure a membership rule for the group.
Explanation: To create a team in Microsoft Teams for the Sales department users, we need to follow a few steps:
Create an Office 365 group: An Office 365 group is a type of group in Microsoft 365 that has a shared mailbox, calendar, document library, and Planner. Creating an Office 365 group will automatically create an email address for the group that can be used to send emails to all the members of the group. The Sales department users can be added to this group.
Configure a membership rule for the group: A membership rule can be set for the Office 365 group that will automatically add or remove members based on specific criteria. In this case, the membership rule should be set to automatically add users to the group when they join the Sales department and remove them from the group when they leave the Sales department. This can be done by using Azure Active Directory dynamic membership rules.
Create a team: Once the Office 365 group is created and the membership rule is configured, a team can be created in Microsoft Teams using the Office 365 group. The Sales department users will be automatically added to the team based on the membership rule.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer to this question. Option A, B, and D are not the correct options because:
Option A: Creating a dynamic distribution group and configuring a membership rule for the group is not the correct option because a dynamic distribution group is not the same as an Office 365 group. Also, dynamic distribution groups are used for email distribution, not for creating teams in Microsoft Teams.
Option B: Creating an Azure Active Directory security group and adding the Sales users to the group is not the correct option because a security group is not the same as an Office 365 group. Also, security groups are used for access control to resources, not for creating teams in Microsoft Teams.
Option D: Creating a new team by using the New-Team PowerShell cmdlet is not the correct option because it does not address the requirement to automatically add or remove users from the team based on their department.
