Can IT Admins Block Anonymous Responses in Microsoft Forms?

Is it possible for admins to configure Microsoft Forms so that users cannot create an option for anonymous responses? For example, if there is a concern that someone might submit inappropriate responses, admins would want the ability to trace who provided the response. From my understanding, an anonymous response is completely untraceable.

    The only way to do this for anonymous forms is to have a question for the responder's email address and make it required. Though that wouldn't stop them entering an incorrect address.

    Any anonymous response without  a specific question asking for their name or email is, by default, completely untraceable. Anything else would be a legal & regulatory nightmare.
