To add a custom security recommendation in Defender for Cloud that uses the subscription's custom severity rating, which resource should you create?

A policy definition is the correct resource because it allows you to define the conditions and effects of a policy, including custom security recommendations and their severity. You can specify criteria that, when met, trigger a custom recommendation with a defined severity level within Defender for Cloud. An exemption is used to exclude resources from policy evaluation. An initiative definition is a collection of policy definitions, not a single custom recommendation. An assignment links a policy or initiative definition to a scope (like a subscription), but doesn't define the policy itself.
