Full Explanation
B is correct because in Microsoft Entra Verified ID, trust with credential issuers is established through Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). The verifier organization (the AI hiring platform) must configure trusted issuer lists in their Verified ID service that include the educational institution's DID, establishing cryptographic trust for presented credentials. A is incorrect because External Identities partner registration controls B2B access, not verifiable credential issuer trust in the Verified ID model. C is incorrect because SAML federation is for identity federation with identity providers, not for establishing trust in the W3C Verifiable Credentials model used by Entra Verified ID. D is incorrect because the Microsoft Entra Verified ID network does not automatically trust all academic institutions; trust must be explicitly configured by each organization.
