What deployment type should be used to ensure a mobile application cannot be uninstalled?

1. Available

2. Required

3. Optional

4. Blocking

The correct answer is: Required

When selecting a deployment type to ensure that a mobile application cannot be uninstalled, the required deployment type is the appropriate choice. This deployment method mandates that the application is installed on the user's device, which means it will be forced onto the device without giving users the option to uninstall it. With a required deployment, the organization exercises control over the apps on devices, making sure that critical applications remain installed and accessible for users. This is particularly significant for applications that support business processes or enhance security. In contrast, available and optional deployments grant users the freedom to choose whether or not to install the application, meaning they could easily remove it at their discretion, contrary to the goal of ensuring the app stays installed. While blocking might prevent an application from being installed in the first place, it does not address the need to keep an app from being removed once it has been deployed. Therefore, required deployment is the most effective choice for maintaining application presence on devices.
