Correct answer: B
Explanation
To allow external users to be added as guest users, administrators must first enable external collaboration settings in Azure Active Directory. Without enabling these settings, invitations to users outside the organization’s tenant cannot be sent.

While MFA is recommended for security, it is not the mandatory step to enable guest invitations.
