A channel provides data isolation by maintaining a separate ledger and ordering context, so only channel members participate in consensus for that channel's transactions.

Question 70: What is an 'endorsement policy' in Hyperledger Fabric?

The CA policy for issuing certificates
A rule defining which orderers can create blocks
A policy specifying which peers must simulate and sign a transaction proposal (Correct answer)
