Suggested Answer:
Box 1: Modify security defaults.
Privileged Authentication Administrator
Users with this role can set or reset any authentication method (including passwords) for any user, including Global Administrators. Privileged Authentication
Administrators can force users to re-register against existing non-password credential (such as MFA or FIDO) and revoke 'remember MFA on the device', prompting for MFA on the next sign-in of all users.
The Authentication Administrator role has permission to force re-registration and multifactor authentication for standard users and users with some admin roles.

Box 2: User1 only.
Security Administrator.
Users with this role have permissions to manage security-related features in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, Azure Active Directory Identity Protection, Azure
Active Directory Authentication, Azure Information Protection, and Office 365 Security & Compliance Center.
Incorrect:
Not User3. Service Support Administrator.
Users with this role can create and manage support requests with Microsoft for Azure and Microsoft 365 services, and view the service dashboard and message center in the Azure portal and Microsoft 365 admin center.

The correct answer really is security defaults. PIM has nothing to do with it. When you disable security defaults, you can modify MFA settings.

I agree with Cepheid. We don't need to modify anything within the Security default. Just need to disable it so that we can use Conditional access.

Agree. Security Defaults is the only correct answer I can see. I haven't tested it but it makes sense and here is the statement from MS that I believe supports it . It suggests that the Authenticator App is the only enabled MFA option in Sec Defaults. "Requiring all users and admins to register for MFA using the Microsoft Authenticator app or any third-party application using OATH TOTP." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/business-premium/m365bp-turn-on-mfa?view=o365-worldwide&tabs=secdefaults

I think it is PIM and User 1. User 1 can the appropriate permission to User 2 for a while with PIM. There is no way to modify Security Defaults.

User 2 is not the right answer. User 2 already has a PAA role assigned however is unable to do the task. Therefore, the only other possible choice is Security Admin which is User 1.

Authentication Methods are handled in the Security Blade of Azure AD, not PIM. Seems strange, and I can't find anywhere in PIM to modify MFA methods.

Agree with DeepMoon. Security Defaults cannot be modified, it must be PIM. 2nd answer is correct.

Correct. Security Defaults requires "Require all users to register for Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication" Users have 14 days to register for Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication by using the Microsoft Authenticator app or any app supporting OATH TOTP. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/concept-fundamentals-security-defaults#require-all-users-to-register-for-azure-ad-multi-factor-authentication

I agree with the 2nd part of the answer. But I do question the first part. My assumption is the first part of this answer should be PIM. Security defaults turn on MFA. But I don't see a place where an admin gets to choose multiple methods. Unfortunately, I don't have P2 license to test this.
